At that stage in the game the Reds had been playing for almost 20 minutes with a man less after Gravenberch was shown a straight red card for a professional foul on Daichi Kamada.
However, as that was the season finale the Dutchman is yet to serve his suspension. Furthermore, as his dismissal was not for violent conduct, he is only expected to banned will be for one match.

Is Ryan Gravenberch banned for Liverpool vs Crystal Palace?
In one word, no. Gravenberch is eligible to be involved in the Community Shield clash.
This is because the Dutchman’s resulting ban will be served in the Premier League which means he will miss the opener against Bournemouth next Friday night.
Dominik Szoboszlai is an option to drop a little deeper to play alongside Gravenberch which would then allow summer signing Florian Wirtz to operate in his favoured attacking midfield role behind the centre-forward.
