Andoni Iraola: Gravenberch's availability for Crystal Palace in doubt, being assessed daily

  /  autty

Andoni Iraola has confirmed that Ryan Gravenberch remains a doubt for Liverpool's away match against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The midfielder was an unused substitute in last weekend's loss to Arsenal and was subsequently left out of the squad for the midweek Champions League away game against Fenerbahçe.

Gravenberch was then omitted from the Netherlands squad for the November international break, further casting doubt on his availability for Liverpool this weekend.

However, Andoni Iraola did not rule out the Dutchman's participation against Crystal Palace, but admitted that Liverpool will have to make a late decision on his fitness and on whether he can play through the pain.

"No, the only doubt is Ryan," said the Liverpool manager. "Jeremie Frimpong, Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni and Hugo Ekitiké will definitely not play. Everything else remains as it has been."

"Gravenberch's situation is being assessed day by day. The key is the pain. We'll see if he can tolerate it and push through, and if he can help us, then that would be best, of course."
