Joe Gomez - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Makes first league appearance of season Gomez recorded no stats in Sunday's 3-0 loss against Manchester City.

Impact Gomez made a brief appearance against Manchester City, coming off the bench for the final two minutes without recording a defensive statistic. The defender has been limited to a backup role this season, with Jeremy Jacquet ahead of him in central defense and Ronald Araujo preferred at right-back. His first Premier League minutes of the campaign underline his limited involvement, with Gomez primarily providing defensive depth across both positions.

Logs 45 minutes in EFL Cup Gomez played 45 minutes in the EFL Cup against Tottenham on Tuesday and was subbed off during the HT break.

Impact Gomez made his first appearance of the 2026/27 season in this cup match and played the entire first half, but he was substituted at the break, with Jeremy Jacquet taking his place on defense. Gomez is expected to be a depth option for the Reds, and having him healthy adds another experienced alternative at center-back.

Impact Gomez has been sidelined since picking up a muscle injury during preseason, with the problem initially expected to keep him out for around a month and ultimately ruling him out of the opening league fixtures.

Impact Gomez had been dealing with a muscle strain suffered in a preseason friendly in Nashville, an injury manager Iraola had previously estimated could keep him out for around a month.

Impact Gomez suffered an injury in Nashville as Liverpool played in a pre-season friendly, now deemed to be a muscle strain. The unfortunate news for the defender is that he is now facing weeks on the sidelines, and potentially a month, as it seems more than likely he will miss the start of the season. This will lead the Reds to have a bit less depth in defense, more importantly, without their only backup that is a natural central defender. That said, the club is likely to bring someone else in to fix that issue regardless, although they will still hope Gomez can make an unexpected return to begin the campaign.

Impact Gomez had captained the side before his withdrawal, with Ifeanyi Ndukwe coming on as his replacement.

Back on bench Gomez (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Crystal Palace.

Impact Gomez returned to the matchday squad after missing the Merseyside Derby against Everton, with coach Arne Slot expressing relief at having him back available following a week in which Liverpool were left with no center-back cover on the bench. The defender figures to provide depth behind the established pairing of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, giving manager Slot more options to manage a busy run of fixtures in the final stretch of the season.

Back available for Palace clash Gomez (undisclosed) is back avaialble for Saturday's clash against Crystal Palace, according to coach Arne Slot. "Joe is back in the squad, which is helpful."

Impact Gomez missed the Merseyside Derby against Everton but his return to the squad is a welcome boost for Liverpool's defensive depth heading into the weekend. The defender figures to provide cover rather than challenge for an immediate starting role, with Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate the established center-back pairing, but having him available again gives manager Slot more options to manage a busy run of fixtures in the final stretch of the season.

Back in training Gomez (undisclosed) is back in training and should be an option for Saturday's game against Crystal Palace.

Impact Gomez didn't play against Everton in the Merseyside Derby this past weekend, but the veteran defender should be back in the mix to play against the Eagles. However, even if he gets the green light, Gomez will remain as a backup alternative behind the starting center-back pairing of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.

Ruled out for Everton derby Gomez (undisclosed) is ruled out of Sunday's Merseyside derby against Everton, according to coach Arne Slot. "No. [he is not fit for Sunday]."

Impact Gomez had flagged some discomfort during Tuesday's Champions League loss to PSG after coming off the bench, choosing to be substituted rather than risk aggravating the issue. His absence for the derby is a limited blow given his rotational role this season, with Jeremie Frimpong the established starter at right-back. The club will monitor his condition over the coming days before setting any kind of return timeline.

Impact Gomez suffered an apparently minor physical issue during a short outing Tuesday, although he wasn't in serious pain when he exited the pitch. The versatile defender had replaced Jeremie Frimpong at right-back to start the second half, featuring as a substitute for the second straight match. Gomez is sometimes valuable for passes and defensive production, but his role could continue to be limited even if he avoids an absence, with Frimpong favored in the race for a starting spot.
