After Virgil Van Dijk and Fabinho, Liverpool were threatened with losing Joe Gomez

DBasia.news – A hurricane of injuries has returned to haunt Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool squad. After losing Virgil Van Dijk and Fabinho at the back, the Reds squad is also threatened with losing Joe Gomez.

Gomez experienced a problem with his knee during the England national team training session at St. Petersburg. George Park, Wednesday (11/11) local time. The 23-year-old player was immediately returned to Liverpool for further examination.

Gomez groaned in pain after making a pass in a session. So there was no clash with other players.

Reporting from the Mirror, Liverpool are worried that Gomez’s knee ligament would be torn again like what the player experienced five years ago. When the issue is, the player has to go into surgery and would force him to be absent for a long time.

If these allegations come true, Gomez could be sidelined until the end of the season. That means he is following in the footsteps of Virgil van Dijk, who was confirmed to be out for a while with a knee injury.

England national team coach, Gareth Southgate is also uncomfortable with Liverpool regarding Gomez’s injury. He is certainly aware of the difficult situation that Klopp will face.

“One of the worst things as a national team manager is to borrow players and something happens in front of you. We hope and pray that this will not last long, “said Southgate.

Gomez’s injury will certainly complicate Klopp. Currently only Joel Matip is a senior defender who is in a fit condition.

This condition is certainly not ideal for Liverpool, who have ambitions to defend the Premier League title. At least, they have to face this problem until January when the transfer market reopens.
