Heel Injury Keeps Midfielder In England
Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch has been ruled out of the club's Champions League match against Fenerbahce in Istanbul. The Netherlands international suffered a heel problem and did not board the plane with his teammates.
The midfielder stayed behind on Merseyside to receive medical treatment on his heel. He was an unused substitute during Liverpool's Premier League defeat against Arsenal on Sunday. He will now remain in England while the rest of the team prepares for the game in Turkey.
Iraola Leads 22 Man Squad To Turkey
Head coach Andoni Iraola flew out to Turkey on Tuesday morning with a 22 man squad. The manager is focused on taking another positive result on the road in European competition.
Liverpool enter this fixture looking to win a fourth successive match in the Champions League. Iraola will have to rely on his selected 22 players to get the job done in Istanbul without Gravenberch available in midfield.
Perfect Record In European Campaign
The club has built good momentum in Europe this season. Liverpool have already defeated Atlético Madrid, Villarreal, and LASK during their Champions League campaign.
A victory against Fenerbahce would give Liverpool four wins out of four in the competition. The squad wants to return to winning ways immediately following their recent domestic setback against Arsenal.
Targeting Four Wins In A Row
Gravenberch will focus on getting fit on Merseyside while watching his teammates from home. The squad left for Istanbul on Tuesday morning with high hopes of continuing their strong form in Europe.
Fans will watch closely to see how the team performs in Turkey without the midfielder. Achieving a fourth straight Champions League victory would keep Liverpool in a strong position in the tournament after winning their opening three matches.
