Liverpool are aiming to secure the top spot in Group E of the Europa League ahead of schedule with a Thursday night match against LASK at Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp’s team can clinch the top spot if they defeat LASK, and Toulouse, their closest competitors, fail to win against Union SG on the same night.
Klopp is expected to make several changes for the Europa League clash, and one notable option is Ryan Gravenberch.
Although he missed the Toulouse match due to a minor injury, the 21-year-old midfielder came on as a substitute against Manchester City.
Despite the setback, Gravenberch had been in good form before the international break and is now ready to contribute to Liverpool’s Europa League campaign.
Curtis Jones to be back for Liverpool vs LASK Europa League clash?
Another potential option for Klopp is Curtis Jones, who recently returned from a thigh problem.
However, he appeared slightly off the pace in the City game, suggesting that resting him until later in the match might be a wise decision, with the possibility of him coming on for Gravenberch.
Liverpool manager Klopp has praised Gravenberch’s technical skills, describing him as “technically incredibly good” with an outstanding first touch and top-class speed.
Despite joining the team relatively late and adapting to a slightly different style of play, Gravenberch has already made significant contributions.
At just 21 years old, there is excitement about his potential growth and impact for Liverpool in the future.
