Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch will be assessed after being replaced at half-time during the Netherlands’ World Cup qualifying victory over Finland on Sunday.

Netherlands head coach Ronald Koeman explained at full time Gravenberch had been experiencing hamstring discomfort and was taken off as a precaution.

The 23-year-old was replaced by Tijjani Reijnders at the break with the Netherlands leading 3-0, with Koeman’s side adding a fourth in the second half.

“Ryan indicated he was experiencing some minor hamstring discomfort,” Koeman told a post-match press conference . “We obviously didn’t take any risks with that.”

Gravenberch had played the full 90 minutes of Netherlands’ 4-0 win over Malta on Thursday.

The midfielder has started six of Liverpool’s seven Premier League matches this season, only missing the opening-day victory over Bournemouth through suspension. He has provided two goals and two assists across eight appearances in all competitions.

Liverpool face Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday. Arne Slot’s side will be without goalkeeper Alisson for the fixture following a hamstring injury sustained in the Champions League defeat to Galatasaray.

Defender Ibrahima Konate, meanwhile, withdrew from the France squad on Saturday due to a quadriceps injury, having been forced off with the same issue during Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat to Chelsea on October 4.
