Liverpool FC is facing a difficult period as key defender Joe Gomez is set for a lengthy absence due to a hamstring injury.
The 27-year-old England international suffered the injury just 11 minutes into Liverpool’s unexpected FA Cup loss to Plymouth. This comes at a crucial time for the club, who recently dropped points in a 1-1 Premier League draw against Everton, allowing rivals Arsenal to narrow the gap in the title race.
The full extent of Gomez’s injury is still being assessed, with further tests scheduled to determine the damage. According to The Mirror, the club is concerned about the potential length of his absence, which could have a significant impact on Liverpool’s defensive options. Manager Arne Slot confirmed the injury and expressed concerns about how it may affect the team’s performances in upcoming matches.
With Gomez sidelined, Liverpool faces a challenging task in maintaining their momentum, particularly with Arsenal breathing down their necks in the Premier League. The Reds will need to adapt and find ways to cover for his absence as they continue their push in both domestic and European competitions.
