Ryan Gravenberch withdraws from Netherlands squad due to injury
Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch has withdrawn from the Netherlands national team due to precautionary reasons. This news comes from BBC reporter Nizaar Kinsella. Gravenberch played in Liverpool's recent Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United, where they lost 2-0. He picked up a slight knock during that match. Despite the injury, he was initially called up for the upcoming international matches against Spain in the Nations League quarter-finals. Kinsella reports that Gravenberch's injury does not seem serious. This is good news for Liverpool as they strive for the Premier League title. He is expected to be ready for their crucial matches ahead. The 22-year-old has had a strong season with Liverpool, playing effectively in a defensive midfield role. Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville described him as "unbelievable." Liverpool fans were initially disappointed about the team not signing a traditional defensive midfielder, but Gravenberch has stepped up. Liverpool sits at the top of the Premier League, 12 points ahead. They have several important matches coming up, including a Merseyside derby against Everton and games against Fulham, West Ham, and Leicester. They will also face Tottenham, Chelsea, and Arsenal in the coming months as they work toward securing the title.
