Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Gravenberch have not travelled with Liverpool to Toulouse for their upcoming Europa League match. This has caused some worry to supporters, as it could potentially be a devastating injury with a key clash against Manchester City at the end of the month.
However, Jurgen Klopp has assured fans that the pair are only suffering from illness and injury, and that it should not be a major problem. He explained that Virgil is a little bit ill and that Ryan has a niggle in his knee. He added that they should both be back after the international break.
Curtis Jones was also not included in the travelling squad due to a low-grade hamstring. Klopp stated that he should be back after the international break.
Van Dijk remains as pivotal to Liverpool as ever, while Gravenberch has impressed since his summer move from Bayern Munich, particularly in the Europa League where he has two goals and an assist in three appearances.
Liverpool are hoping for a win in France which will confirm their place in the knockout stages. After the Toulouse trip, the Reds host Brentford in the Premier League on Sunday and then travel to City on 25th November after the international break.
Overall, the news of Van Dijk and Gravenberch not travelling with the squad is concerning, but Jurgen Klopp has assured fans that the pair are only suffering from illness and injury. Hopefully, they will be back after the international break in time for their key clash against Manchester City.
