Liverpool Receives Positive Injury News on Ryan Gravenberch and Diogo Jota
Liverpool has received a boost with positive injury updates on Ryan Gravenberch and Diogo Jota. Gravenberch is already in contention for the upcoming match against West Ham, while Jota is making progress in his recovery.
Injuries have been a major concern for Liverpool, with several key players sidelined. Joel Matip, Andy Robertson, Thiago, Stefan Bajcetic, and Ben Doak are long-term absentees, while Mac Allister will be out until the New Year.
However, assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders provided encouraging news on Gravenberch’s injury. The Dutchman has avoided a hamstring injury and is expected to train soon. Lijnders praised Gravenberch’s performance and highlighted his importance in games against man-marking sides.
As for Jota, who has been out with a hamstring injury since the match against Man City, he is progressing well. Although hamstring injuries require caution, Lijnders mentioned that Jota is doing ball work outside and getting better. The team will take extra care to avoid any re-injuries before his return.
The hope is that Jota will make his comeback before the end of the year, providing much-needed goal-scoring options for Jurgen Klopp’s side. Gravenberch, on the other hand, is expected to start when Arsenal visits Anfield on Saturday evening.
With a strong but rotated side likely to be named for the Carabao Cup quarter-finals against West Ham, Liverpool will be hoping for a positive result as they navigate their injury concerns.
