Joe Gomez
28-Year-Old
Liverpool
Premier
Fit to start moving forward
Gomez is now fit to start a game after appearing off bench in the last two games, coach Arne Slot said in the press conference. "Yeah, I think he is."
ANALYSIS
Gomez worked his way back from a hip injury over the past few weeks and logged two appearances off the bench to build his match fitness. The defender is now ready to go from the opening whistle, signaling he is back in the mix physically. That said, cracking the starting XI in central defense remains a challenge with the preferred options healthy, and his clearest path to minutes could come at right-back. Even there, Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai have been trusted ahead of him during previous injury spells, so Gomez still has ground to make up in the rotation.

Unlikely against Sunderland
Gomez (hip) is unlikely to be available for Wednesday's clash against Sunderland, coach Arne Slot said in a press conference. "I don't expect Joe to be back as well, but you never know. But then he is back after being out for three weeks, would you play him then? You say no, but you don't have to make the decision - I have to make the decision. Let's see what decision we make. We have other players that can play that position as well. Dom - again - played a very good game in that position but unfortunately he is unavailable for Wednesday."

Could be available Sunday
Gomez (hip) could be back available for Sunday's clash against Manchester City, coach Arne Slot said in the press conference. "With Joe, we have a little bit of hope that he might train Saturday. So, not available to start but maybe available to help the team if needed during the game because, as you already know, there are not that many defenders available at the moment."
