The Story in 60 Seconds

Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola confirmed that midfielder Ryan Gravenberch is an injury doubt for Sunday's Premier League match against Crystal Palace. Gravenberch missed the midweek Champions League trip to Fenerbahce and was omitted from the Netherlands squad, leaving Liverpool to make a late decision on whether he can play through pain.

Iraola also clarified that forward Bradley Barcola will be used predominantly as a winger. Despite fielding the £123 million signing as a central striker against Fenerbahce, Iraola stated Barcola will play on the wing about 90 percent of the time.
