Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders has provided an update on the club's injury situation.

The Reds are counting the wounded as they move on from yet another busy week, which concluded with a 0-0 draw against Manchester United.

Ryan Gravenberch was one who came off during that game, sparking concern among fans.

On Gravenberch, Lijnders stated: We thought there was really something, he came off during the game and you saw immediately when he came off what that did to the team as well, he was playing really well.

Especially against these man-marking sides he plays unbelievable. But he had a scan and it's only DOMS, which is fatigue, so that's a really good thing. He will train hopefully today, let's see where he is. We have to be careful of course because that's a sign. So that's a good one."

Where there was good news regarding Alexis Mac Allister and Diogo Jota, Ljinders added on Ben Doak: That's not a good one. He teared his lateral meniscus, which needs surgery. That one will take [a] longer time. He is young, he is a fit guy, he is a positive guy so for sure he will come back stronger, and we need him to come back with the same fire he has with the ball, how he was. He can take time and we will wait for him."
