Jurgen Klopp has provided an injury update after midfielder Ryan Gravenberch was substituted on his first start against LASK last night.
The midfielder joined Liverpool in a £34 million deal from Bayern Munich and impressed in the victory before limping off, causing concern amongst Reds supporters.
Gravenberch starred in his midfield pivot role and provided the assist for Luis Diaz’s second-half goal that handed the visitors the lead for the first time in the match after falling behind early on.
However, after the encounter boss Klopp confirmed that the 21-year-old didn’t sustain any serious injury.

After speaking to TNT Sports after the game, the Liverpool boss admitted that the youngster was only struggling with a touch of cramp.
“(He played) very good, he told me he had cramp so that makes sense.
“It was his first start for a while I think and he did really well.
“For a long time he was the best player on the pitch and in the first-half frustration grew a little bit and you saw him getting lost a little bit.
“But that’s normal these things happen but he stayed in the game as long as he could and had really good moments, set up a good goal for Luis Diaz and for not knowing a lot about his team-mates it looked pretty tuned.”
Gravenberch will be looking to make his first Premier League start on Sunday when the Reds host West Ham United at Anfield.
