Gravenberch Can Face Palace Despite Ban…
Liverpool’s midfield maestro, Ryan Gravenberch, is all set to tangle with Crystal Palace in the Community Shield, even after he stylishly donned a red card in their final encounter last season. It’s like he has been given a ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card, perfect for life-sized Monopoly! His heroic tackle against Daichi Kamada saw his team flip the game script, thanks to good ol’ Mo Salah. Though he’ll be strutting at Wembley, don’t expect to see him stomping the Anfield grass on August 15 against Bournemouth due to the same suspension.
The football world scratched heads when it was confirmed that Gravenberch’s ban only dances through the Premier League fields, dodging the Community Shield like a ballerina in a minefield. With more drama than a soap opera, Gravenberch will return to face Newcastle United on August 25. Meanwhile, Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez are sidelined faster than a kid eating his vegetables, but Virgil van Dijk is back on duty. Alisson Becker is also back after rushing home for family matters, reminding us that even goalkeepers earn their red capes off the field too!
