Gomez worries Gomez after injury in England

Liverpool reportedly have “significant” concerns that defender Joe Gomez suffered a “prolonged” injury during the latest international break with England.

the Daily mirror He reports that Gomez has suffered from the problem while training with his Three Lions teammates.

However, the newspaper does not give details of the injury. In fact, the source only says that this is a “significant” problem.

However, Liverpool is reported to have ‘significant’ concerns over the 23 year old and fear a long period on the sidelines.

England boss Gareth Southgate is likely to provide an update later Wednesday at his pre-match press conference. The Three Lions face the Republic of Ireland in a friendly on Thursday.

The Reds have already suffered a defensive injury crisis this season, topped by Virgil van Dijkabsence. The Dutchman will likely be out for the rest of the season with a serious knee injury.

However, Joel Matip has also spent time on the sidelines, meaning Fabinho had retired from midfield. But when the Brazilian suffered a hamstring injury, the fringe players stepped forward.

Nathaniel Phillips, who had been allowed to leave by Liverpool in the summer, made his Premier League debut against West Ham. Meanwhile, Rhys Williams, 19, has played in the Champions League.

As such, Gomez had become the leader of the defense, by commanding his teammates and the news of his injury will be deeply concerning to Klopp and his staff.

Klopp options evaluated

Fortunately for KloppFabinho is likely to be fit after the international break ends. The manager confirmed (via Liverpoolfc.com) that the midfielder’s problem was only “minor”. As a result, you could become Matip’s partner in the rear.

However, Phillips and Williams could be on hold. In fact, the former made a show of command against the Hammers.

Liverpool could afford to rest one of Matip or Fabinho in the Champions League. The Reds are nine points out of nine after three group stage games, meaning another win will likely guarantee their progression.

In addition to their concerns about the central defender, Liverpool also have concerns as a right-back. Trent Alexander-Arnold walked away with a calf problem during Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Manchester City.

Gomez’s international partner with England will be out for about four weeks.
