Liverpool's Ryan Gravenberch sustained ankle ligament damage following a tackle by Chelsea's Moises Caicedo, sparking widespread controversy and criticism. The incident, which occurred during a recent match, was reviewed by VAR John Brooks and deemed careless/reckless rather than serious foul play, thus no red card was issued to Caicedo. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, along with players and fans, expressed significant displeasure over the decision and the tackle itself. Klopp highlighted the growing injury list for Liverpool, mentioning Gravenberch's expected absence from the next two games at least. The injury has ruled Gravenberch out of the upcoming FA Cup tie against Southampton, with Klopp noting the need for 'miracles' for several injured players. Liverpool's injury concerns also include Wataru Endo, with doubts over Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Dominik Szoboszlai, while Thiago's season might be over, and Stefan Bajcetic is nearing a return to training.
