Gravenberch misses Liverpool trip to Fenerbahce with injury

Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch was not included in the 22-man squad that travelled to Turkey for the UEFA Champions League match against Fenerbahce on 4 November. Manager Andoni Iraola provided an update confirming the player’s absence was due to injury.

Fenerbahce currently sit 31st in the Champions League group stage with 2 points from 3 matches, having drawn twice and lost once. Their goal difference stands at minus six, reflecting a challenging start to the competition. The Turkish side recently lost 2-1 to Goztepe in the Super Lig, continuing a difficult run that includes defeats to Galatasaray and Aston Villa, as well as a draw against Slavia Prague.

Liverpool face a crucial away fixture at Fenerbahce, where they will aim to improve their standing in the group. The match is part of the ongoing UEFA Champions League campaign, a competition in which both clubs are seeking to advance beyond the group stage.

Fenerbahce’s recent form has been inconsistent, with only one win in their last five matches across all competitions. The team’s defensive struggles are evident in their goal difference and recent heavy defeats, which could influence their approach against Liverpool. Meanwhile, Liverpool will need to manage without Gravenberch as they look to secure vital points on foreign soil.
