Ryan Gravenberch has handed Liverpool a fresh injury concern ahead of their clash with Manchester United after helping edge Holland nearer the World Cup. Gravenberch was replaced at half-time as the Dutch romped to a 4-0 win over Finland on Sunday night to remain top of their qualifying group.

And Holland boss Ronald Koeman later revealed the Reds midfielder had been substituted for Manchester City's Tijjani Reijnders due to a muscle issue, and said: "Ryan indicated he had some minor hamstring problems. Of course, we didn’t take any risks with that."

Speaking after the game, Gravenberch said of his failure to appear in the second half: "It was partly fitness related. The season is long, so it was a precaution. I’m feeling good and I have the coach’s confidence.”
