Hasnāt David Lynch suggested itās precautionary and he will likely to be fit for Sunday
Itās always precautionary until theyāre out for six weeks.
Thing is, when they pull a player, itās because he felt something. More often than not, that something isnāt nothing.

Ryan Gravenberch was substituted in the second half of Liverpoolās clash with Manchester United after appearing to twist his ankle.
The mechanism - inversion and plantarflexion at the ankle, raises concern for a lateral ankle sprain. These typically involve the ATFL and, in some cases, the CFL too.
Potential Recovery Times
Grade 1: 0.5ā2 weeks (most likely)
Grade 2: 3ā4 weeks
Grade 3: 4ā6+ weeks
Arne Slot confirmed further assessment will take place in the coming days to determine the extent of the damage.
Lateral ankle sprains often look worse than they are, if swelling and instability are minimal, a Grade 1 sprain and a quick return are most likely.
Liverpool face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League midweek and will be racing against the clock to make it. However, any ligament damage confirmed on imaging could see him sidelined for several weeks.

Assume this was 3 days agoā¦
Was this a result of that cunt Mbueno leaving one on him?Another one who thinks he can take liberties because weāre as soft as shite.
Seems he is missing from training but doesnāt really tell us much, see what Arne says later.
Do they?
Ryan seems to have the knack for going under the radar with those performances.
Another anonymous showing. No defensive shield and painfully limited in possession.
Massively overrated as it stands.

Slot said it himself near the end of last season while praising him, that he also needs to improve his passing game.
You cannot get out of every situation by doing his trademark move, dribbling past someone or carrying the ball. Itās impossible, no matter how good you are.
Heās not ready to be a single pivot, I donāt think. The moves we made this summer just leaves us with even more questions whatās the right selection, shape, partnerships, etc.

Worst is how he so often turns the wrong way.
He so often has an easy quick pass forward to play yet decided to turn and play back to the defence. Itās so wasteful.
His ability of nipping in and win an interception is also lost with how we press. Hard to see his usefulness at the moment. Except for perhaps we havenāt anyone else, Endo?

If Gravenberchās form would turn to deserving to be dropped (which I donāt think is the case yet, Mac is still battling though to return to 100% shape and consistent form), I think Jones would takeover that deepest role of the double-pivots. Not Endo. It might be a zone to keep monitoring what to do over the next transfer windows.
4 goals and 3 assists so far this season, already the most heās had in a season for us. Last season, he failed to score. I like it that heās active in both directions.

Joyce saying contract negotiations have begun
Not enough love for Grav today I thought he was fantastic he bossed that middle and was so effective at relieving pressure, kept Rice completely quiet, well done

I have no idea why Gravenberch needs singling out. FFS Macca was more worthwhile for a mention after his recent performances. Almost master class!
Also Wirtz ā¦
Szoboszlai had some lovely moments as well though his lack of creativity perhaps knocks him back a bit same can be said for Gravenberch.
Still good solid performances in midfield. Slot got it right last night

Grav was better IMO, but still good to see a resurgence in Macca
