Liverpool faces injury setback before Champions League match in Istanbul

Summary

Liverpool has confirmed that Ryan Gravenberch will not travel to Istanbul for their Champions League match against Fenerbahce due to a heel injury. The 24-year-old midfielder was an unused substitute in the recent defeat to Arsenal and is currently undergoing treatment. His absence is a setback for the team as they prepare for a challenging match in the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium, where they'll meet former player Dirk Kuyt, now in charge of Fenerbahce. Coach Andoni Iraola will address the media regarding Gravenberch during a pre-match press conference.
