Liverpool defender thankfully avoids ligament damage Gomez injured himself during
England training sessionJoe Gomez has undergone surgery to correct the knee injury that he suffered in England training on Wednesday.
Liverpool say the operation to the tendon was a success and that he has avoided ligament damage. Although the club do not want to put a timeframe on his recovery, they have not ruled out the possibility of him returning before the end of the campaign.
Gomez’s injury has deepened Liverpool’s defensive selection crisis and shaken up his England teammates. The luckless 23-year-old missed the 2018
World Cup because of serious injury. The goalkeeper, Nick Pope, who will start in tonight’s Wembley friendly against the Republic of
Ireland, said on Wednesday: “Joe made a pass or a movement with no one around him and ended up on the floor. He was in a great deal of pain. When you see one of your
Friends or teammates go through that, it’s not easy.”
