Liverpool’s Gomez might need surgery after ‘big blow’

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez is facing the possibility of undergoing surgery after suffering a serious knee injury during a training session. The 23-year-old England international was injured while on international duty with England. The club has confirmed that Gomez has undergone scans and is currently being assessed by medical staff.

Manager Jurgen Klopp described the injury as a ‘big blow’ for Liverpool, as Gomez has been a key player for the team this season. The defender has formed a solid partnership with Virgil van Dijk at the back, helping Liverpool to secure their first Premier League title in 30 years last season.

If Gomez does require surgery, it is likely that he will be out of action for an extended period of time. This could be a major setback for Liverpool, who are already dealing with several key injuries to their squad.

Gomez’s injury adds to the growing list of defensive problems for Liverpool, who have already lost van Dijk to a long-term knee injury. The Reds will now have to rely on their remaining defenders to step up and fill the void left by Gomez’s absence.

Despite the setback, Klopp remains confident in his team’s ability to cope with the injury crisis and maintain their title challenge. Liverpool will be hoping for a swift recovery for Gomez, but they may have to make do without him for an extended period of time.
