DEVASTATING NEWS: Liverpool’s injury crisis deepened during the Carabao Cup final as Ryan Gravenberch was stretchered off in the first half. The Dutch midfielder was involved in a collision with Moises Caicedo and had to be helped from the pitch. Liverpool are already without ten players due to injury, and this latest setback will be a big concern for manager Jurgen Klopp. He said “This is probably one of my worst seasons I’m confused i don’t know what to do all my players are all out but we the team will always give our best”.

Liverpool faced another setback in the Carabao Cup final as Ryan Gravenberch suffered an injury that led to him being stretchered off. Just 23 minutes into the game, the Dutch midfielder had to leave the field after a late tackle from Moises Caicedo of Chelsea, who made contact with Gravenberch’s ankle using his studs.

Gravenberch remained on the ground for several minutes, receiving treatment before it was determined that he couldn’t continue playing. Despite VAR reviewing the challenge, Caicedo was not punished for his actions, much to the frustration of Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who expressed his anger towards the fourth official.

Gravenberch’s absence forced Klopp to rethink his tactics, resulting in the substitution of defender Joe Gomez. This injury compounded Liverpool’s existing injury crisis, with ten key first-team players already sidelined due to various fitness issues, including Alisson, Joel Matip, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Thiago Alcantara, Dominik Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones, Stefan Bajcetic, Mo Salah, Diogo Jota, and Darwin Nunez.

The controversial incidents continued as Raheem Sterling had a goal disallowed for Chelsea due to Nicolas Jackson being marginally offside in the buildup. With the severity of Gravenberch’s injury unclear, Liverpool will be hoping for a swift recovery, especially with the Premier League title race intensifying. Currently leading the table by one point, Liverpool faces Southampton next in the FA Cup on Wednesday.
