111 Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Ryan Gravenberch is fit and ready to feature for the Reds against Manchester United.
The Liverpool boss, speaking to the Reds media team on Friday, revealed that the 21-year-old trained again on the day and is now good to go against Erik ten Hag’s Red Devils.
Gravenberch has sat out of Liverpool’s past five matches after damaging ankle ligaments during last month’s Carabao Cup final triumph over Chelsea.
His return is another welcome boost for the Liverpool boss, who also confirmed that Reds talisman Mohamed Salah is “definitely ready” and raring to go at Old Trafford.
“Ryan trained today again, so he’s ready,” said Klopp. “And the others, some of the others, [will return] after the international break.”
Klopp also confirmed that Bobby Clark was fine following a knock against Sparta, but Ibrahima Konate was now a major doubt for the Manchester United clash.
Liverpool eager to take big step towards another trophy
Liverpool will look to progress in yet another competition as they face the Red Devils in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup on Sunday.
The Reds are enjoying a stellar season. They’ve won the Carabao Cup, remain in the Premier League title race and cruised into the Europa League quarter-finals.
Manchester United, one of Liverpool’s biggest rivals over the decades, now await Klopp’s high-flying charges at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
For Ten Hag’s side, it’s their last realistic opportunity of winning a trophy this season, and playing in front of an expectant home crowd will no doubt spur them on even more.
However, Liverpool will fancy their chances of getting the better of their opponents and take another step towards yet another trophy.
And having the ‘exceptional‘ Gravenberch available is a big boost for Klopp, who will be eager for all the strength in depth he can get over the coming weeks.
