Liverpool’s injury and fitness issues remain largely unchanged following Wednesday’s Champions League defeat at Fenerbahce as Andoni Iraola prepares his side to take on Crystal Palace.
Ryan Gravenberch, whose heel injury meant he did not travel for Liverpool’s defeat in Türkiye, remains a doubt for Sunday’s trip to face The Eagles. Speaking to press ahead of the match, though, Liverpool’s head coach refused to fully rule out the Dutch midfielder.
“[It is] A day-to-day thing, it’s a matter of pain. Let’s see if he can deal with the pain and he can help us,” Iraola told the gathered press.
Iraola does not expect returns on Sunday for any of the long-term injured players, either, so we’ll have to keep an eye on training pictures for any potential signs of progress regarding the likes of Hugo Ekitike, Giovanni Leoni, and Conor Bradley. Jeremie Frinpong, too, remains sidelined and isn’t expected back until after the international break.
The Reds do not have any players suspended for Sunday’s Premier League match, and no new injuries were reported following Wednesday’s disappointing fixture.
