Why Liverpool and Ibrahima Konate would both benefit from Frenchman agreeing to stay at Anfield

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."

Impact 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.

Named to bench Gomez (hip) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Sunderland.

Impact Gomez is no longer injured and has passed his testing after he was a late call, with the defender fit from the bench. The English defender remains a rotational pick for the club in the defense due to his versatility, starting in four of his 11 league appearances this campaign.

Late call against Sunderland Gomez (hip) is expected to resume team training on Tuesday for the first time and is a late fitness call for Wednesday's clash against Sunderland, coach Arne Slot said in the press...

Impact Gomez missed the last three matches in all competitions with a hip issue that also kept him out of team training. He is set to return to the training pitch for the first time Tuesday, which leaves him questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Sunderland. Curtis Jones is expected to start at right-back against the Black Cats since Dominik Szoboszlai (suspension), Jeremie Frimpong (hamstring) and Conor Bradley (knee) are all sidelined and Gomez will be fit for a bench role at best.

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...

Impact Gomez has missed the last three matches in all competitions with a hip injury and is trending toward a fourth straight absence, as coach Arne Slot does not expect him to be available for Wednesday's clash against the Black Cats. Even if he was cleared, the coach made it clear Gomez would be brought back gradually rather than rushed into action after several weeks on the sidelines. As a result, his continued absence does little to shake up the starting XI.

Missing again Gomez (hip) is out for Sunday's match against Manchester City.

Impact Gomez was close to making the call from a bench spot Sunday but is unable to play yet, with a hip injury still too much. He will now have two games in the next week to try to make his return, hoping to end a three-game absence.

Impact Gomez missed the last two matches across all competitions due to a hip injury but could push for a return in a bench role during Sunday's clash against Manchester City. The defender is expected to resume training in the coming days and rejoin the match squad as the third choice center-back behind the established pairing of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.

Not far, remains out Gomez (undisclosed) is nearing a return from injury but remains out for Saturday's clash against Newcastle, coach Arne Slot said in the press conference. "Joe will not be available...

Impact Gomez suffered an injury against Bournemouth that will make him miss a second game in a row since Saturday's clash against Newcastle is coming too close for him. The center-back will likely return next week to full training with the aim to be available for the clash against Manchester City. Gomez has been a backup option mainly this season but could see some playing time on the right side of the defense given the injuries.

Unlikely against Newcastle Gomez (undisclosed) is unlikely to return for Saturday's clash against Newcastle United, coach Arne Slot said in the press conference. "Joe will be tight."

Impact Gomez is dealing with an injury he suffered against Bournemouth last week and will likely miss a second game in a row, as Saturday's clash against Newcastle United is expected to come too early for him according to coach Arne Slot. This is a blow for the Reds, since Ibrahima Konate (personal) isn't yet certain to return to the squad against the Magpies, and if both defenders were to miss the clash, it would mean Ryan Gravenberch would have to play out of position again and start alongside Virgil van Dijk in central defense.

Won't play Wednesday Gomez (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's match against Qarabag, according to manager Arne Slot. "But I can confirm that he is not available for tomorrow evening. I expect him bac...

Impact Gomez was off the field early last contest due to an injury and will now miss some midweek play, with his ankle injury too much to play through. However, the defender is not expected to miss too much time, likely returning in the next week or so. However, with Ibrahima Konate (personal) also out, the club is forced into a tough spot with only one central defender fit, likely forcing Wataru Endoto to start in the defense alongside Virgil van Dijk.

Forced off in first half Gomez was forced off the field in the 35th minute of Saturday's match against Bournemouth due to an apparent injury.

Impact Gomez wouldn't make it to halftime Saturday, with the defender needing to exit after a first-half injury. This is a rough loss for the club as they are left without another true central defender in the attack, instead forced to play Waturo Endo in that role. They will now hope for the return of Ibrahima Konate after he was away for some personal issues, as Gomez will now be a doubt moving forward.

Liverpool player ratings vs Fulham: From delight to despair! Cody Gakpo's late show not enough as Harrison Reed's stoppage-time rocket stuns Reds in dramatic draw

Amongst substitutes Gomez (hamstring) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Fulham.

Impact Gomez was back in training this week, and that has led to his return, with the defender fit enough for a bench spot Sunday. He is primarily a backup at right-back and in the defense, set to continue in that spot moving forward.

Set to train Friday Gomez (hamstring) is set to train Friday and is a late call for Sunday's match against Fulham, according to manager Arne Slot. "I expect Joe to train with us [on Friday]."

Impact Gomez is supposed to train this week, potentially allowing his return in Sunday's match against Fulham. However, he will likely still need to go through some testing ahead of the game, with that deciding if he is an option. Even if he is fit, a bench spot is likely where he will sit, with the club nearly having a fully fit defense.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Still without timeline Gomez (hamstring) will likely miss the upcoming holiday fixtures, according to manager Arne Slot.

Impact Gomez injured his hamstring Dec. 13 and that points to a return in mid-January. He hasn't been back on the pitch and Slot hasn't hinted at a quick return, so that means Conor Bradley or Jeremie Frimpong will be splitting most of the right-back minutes with Dominik Szoboszlai a desperate option if needed. Upon return, Gomez will likely revert to his backup role.
