Ryan Gravenberch has returned to Liverpool to be assessed after suffering an injury - and some time away from the pitch might be the best thing for him after a punishing campaign

After enduring an injury in Liverpool's Carabao Cup final against Newcastle, Ryan Gravenberch has had to withdraw from the Netherlands squad, prompting a statement from the club. The midfielder was set to join Dutch teammates including Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo but will now miss the UEFA Nations League clashes with Spain.

The Liverpool midfielder has been sent home by his national team due to an unspecified injury said to have been picked up against Newcastle on the weekend.
