Ryan Gravenberch - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Ruled out against Crystal Palace Gravenberch (heel) has been left out of Liverpool's squad for Sunday's Premier League clash against Crystal Palace due to persistent discomfort.

Impact Gravenberch will miss another match after being an unused substitute against Arsenal due to discomfort during the warmup and sitting out Wednesday's Champions League encounter against Fenerbahce. The Dutch midfielder continues to struggle with heel pain, although the issue has not been described as serious. Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister will start together in central midfield against Crystal Palace in his absence. The upcoming international break should provide Gravenberch with additional recovery time, though his availability when club competition resumes remains uncertain.

Impact Gravenberch's availability remains uncertain heading into Liverpool's final fixture before the November international break, with his participation dependent on how much discomfort he can tolerate. The Dutch midfielder was an unused substitute against Arsenal after experiencing problems during the warmup and subsequently missed Wednesday's Champions League encounter against Fenerbahce. Although the injury has not been described as serious, the persistent pain has prevented him from returning to competitive action, leaving the coaching staff to assess his condition ahead of Sunday's match. His potential absence would further limit Liverpool's midfield options, with Trey Nyoni having benefited from increased playing time recently. With the international break approaching, Liverpool could opt against risking him if the discomfort persists, allowing additional time for recovery before club competition resumes.

Impact Gravenberch was an unused substitute in the loss to Arsenal on Sunday, and while he won't be an option to face Fenerbahce, he hasn't been ruled out from playing against Palace in the final game before the international break. Trey Nyoni has been benefiting from more playing time lately, and he could remain in the XI for the time being over other options in midfield such as Wataru Endo.

Impact Gravenberch will miss another important fixture after remaining an unused substitute in Sunday's Premier League defeat against Arsenal, having previously started the 2-0 victory over Brighton on Oct. 25. The Dutch midfielder has registered one assist across seven league appearances this season, including four starts, while remaining an important option in Liverpool's midfield rotation. His absence against Fenerbahce will place additional responsibilities on Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, particularly in defensive transitions and ball progression, while Trey Nyoni could also benefit from increased playing time. Gravenberch's ability to recover possession and provide defensive cover in central areas will be missed, especially in a demanding European away fixture. The severity of his heel injury remains unclear, with Liverpool confirming that he will stay behind to receive treatment rather than travel to Istanbul. With no definitive recovery timeline established, his availability for Sunday's Premier League clash against Crystal Palace also remains uncertain.

Busy defensively Gravenberch registered three tackles (one won), four clearances and one interception in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Brighton.

Impact Gravenberch had everything to do defensively throughout Sunday's clash. He was tasked with shutting down wave-after-wave of attacks and he did just that throughout the match. The midfielder was a threat every single time he got on the ball as well, though most of his work came in shutting down Brighton threats.

No longer suspended Gravenbarch served his one-game suspension in the Premier League and will be available moving forward.

Impact The Dutch midfielder didn't play in the 2-1 win over Brentford on Saturday, but now he's ready to be back in the mix at the domestic level. That means Gravenberch could return to his regular role in midfield when the Reds take on Brighton next Sunday, Oct. 25, at Anfield Road. Gravenberch should be a lock in midfield now that he's available again, especially with Dominik Szoboszlai (hamstring) expected to be out "for some time."

Sent off Sunday Gravenberch was shown a red card in the 62nd minute of Sunday's match against Manchester City.

Impact Gravenberch was having a solid day in the midfield ahead of a harsh call Sunday, notching two chances created, two shots on target and four completed dribbles, a true maestro for the club in the middle. However, his day would come to a shocking end in the 62nd minute, receiving a second yellow after a first in the 47th minute on what will go down as a wrongful decision for many spectators. Unfortunately for the Reds, this will leave them without the midfielder when facing Brentford on Saturday as well. The hope will be that Dominik Szoboszlai (hamstring) will recover in time for that match; otherwise, Waturu Endo or Trey Nyoni could be in for their first starts of the season.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Drops out of starting midfield Gravenberch has moved into a reduced role after beginning the season as a starter, making five Premier League appearances, including two starts.

Impact Gravenberch has lost ground in the midfield hierarchy, with coach Andoni Iraola recently preferring Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister in the deeper midfield roles. Gravenberch has supplied one assist and three chances created while adding four tackles, three interceptions and six clearances across five league appearances. He should remain part of the midfield rotation, but competition for places could continue to limit his starts.

Struggles in draw Gravenberch registered one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Fulham.

Impact Gravenberch was shown some faith Saturday, as he was included in the starting XI, but he disappointed. He's simply been unable to get on the same page as the team around him, often losing the ball in frustrating ways. That has been shown in manager Andoni Iraola too, who seemingly has lost some trust in Gravenberch, with Alexis Mac Allister preferred in the same role.

Comes off bench for third straight Gravenberch has made three straight appearances off the bench and has not started since the league opener, a sharp decline in his role under head coach Andoni Iraola.

Impact Gravenberch started the season in the side but has since been reduced to three straight appearances off the bench under Andoni Iraola. That is a sharp fall for a midfielder who made 34 and 37 league starts in the last two campaigns and was central to almost everything Liverpool did under Arne Slot. Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have taken over as the double pivot, and the Dutchman may need a shift in form elsewhere before he wins his place back. A crowded run of league and Champions League fixtures could still bring him the odd start even if he is not the preferred choice at the moment.

Assists in draw Gravenberch assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Newcastle United.

Impact Gravenberch set up Cody Gakpo during Sunday's draw, making the most of his lone chance created. It wasn't a totally flawless performance, as Gravenberch's giveaway in the first half led to the opening goal. Gravenberch will hope to get back to his best as a key part of Liverpool's midfield under new boss Andoni Iraola.

Impact Gravenberch will be available in time for the next season after joining the squad late due to his extensive participation at the World Cup. The midfielder was a consistent contributor of passes and tackles last year, and he did valuable work around the field, notching six goals and six assists across 50 matches played in all competitions. After that, he delivered a pair of assists for the Netherlands, with both of them coming in the first of his four appearances in the international tournament. He's expected to retain a starting spot for his club in the early weeks of the season.

Impact Gravenberch's minutes are expected to be limited given his later arrival compared to teammates who have had two extra weeks of training. His range of passing and ability to break lines from deep midfield make him an important piece once fully up to speed. Gravenberch is expected to see his workload increase over the next three weeks as the season approaches.

Sunday's likely appearance against Leeds United will represent his first step back into team activity following his post-tournament rest, with his minutes expected to increase gradually in the weeks ahead as Liverpool ramps up preparations for the 2026/27 Premier League campaign.

Quiet in loss Gravenberch recorded two shots (zero on goal) in Monday's 1-1 (4-3) penalty shootout loss versus Morocco.

Impact Gravenberch was not too active outside of his defensive work on Monday, as the midfielder was constantly marked or challenged immediately after receiving the ball with only two true midfielders in the formation. He would record two shots and an interception, with his day easy explained after only completing 18 passes in the middle. The Liverpool player ended the 2026 World Cup with two assists on two chances created, starting in all four games in the middle for the Netherlands.

Workmanlike showing versus Tunisia Gravenberch registered two shots (zero on goal), two interceptions and one cross (zero accurate) and recorded one tackle (zero won) in Thursday's 3-1 victory against Tunisia.

Impact Gravenberch played in a supportive role next to Frenkie de Jong and Tijjani Reijnders, putting together a well-rounded stat line despite not being particularly flashy or shining in any particular area. He has started in every game, putting up at least one cross in all of them, totaling four (one accurate) and registering two shots (zero on target), four tackles (one won) and five interceptions over that span.

Key presence in midfield Gravenberch generated one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 5-1 victory against Sweden.

Impact Gravenberch delivered another commanding box-to-box display in Saturday's 5-1 win over Sweden, registering three interceptions, one cross and one shot from his central midfield role as the Netherlands dominated the game across 90 minutes with 48 percent possession but clinical efficiency on the counter. The Liverpool midfielder was the defensive spine of the Dutch midfield, breaking up Swedish attacks before they developed and immediately transitioning into forward movements that stretched Sweden's backline, completing 26 passes and covering more ground than any other Dutch player. Having produced two assists in the Japan draw and another commanding performance against Sweden, Gravenberch heads into the knockout rounds as arguably one of the tournament's standout midfielders, combining defensive awareness with progressive ball-carrying to give the Netherlands a player capable of dominating games at the highest level.
