Former Liverpool Forward Dirk Kuyt Appointed Fenerbahce Interim Coach

Fenerbahce demanded an investigation and Galatasaray denied the allegations after the 2-1 derby defeat sparked a mass pitch brawl, officials said.

  • On Tuesday, Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola confirmed midfielder Ryan Gravenberch will miss Wednesday's Champions League match against Fenerbahçe in Istanbul, remaining on Merseyside for treatment on a heel fracture.
  • Following Sunday's defeat to Arsenal, Gravenberch's persistent discomfort during pre-match warm-ups has not improved since, forcing the club to leave him behind for medical care at the AXA Training Centre.
  • With Gravenberch sidelined, Iraola is expected to rely on 19-year-old midfielder Trey Nyoni, whom the manager praised for readiness to play 20 minutes, 65 minutes, or a full game.
  • Liverpool enters the fixture holding a 100% Champions League record and aiming to reach 12 points; Iraola said his team must "kill the confidence" Fenerbahçe draws from their raucous home crowd.
  • The squad traveled to Turkey on Tuesday morning to prepare for the match at Chobani Stadyumu; securing a result in Istanbul would solidify Liverpool's standing in the top eight of the league phase.
