Impact Gomez is still dealing with some setbacks from his Achilles injury he suffered this offseason, with the defender still trying to regain full fitness. He played 20 minutes in their season opener to test his legs, seemingly a lot for the defender after his injury. That said, he will continue to train ahead of Monday, hoping to be fit and replace Jeremy Frimpong's (hamstring) spot, as Conor Bradley also looks unlikely to start.

Can't play 30 minutes yet Gomez (Achilles) featured for 20 minutes in Friday's 4-2 victory against Bournemouth in the season opener but can't yet play half an hour at that level of competition, coach Arne S...

Impact Gomez made his return from his Achilles injury in Friday's season opener against the Cherries but still doesn't have half an hour in his legs at that level of competition. The defender will likely gradually build his fitness back in the coming games before being able to handle a larger amount of minutes. That said, he is the third choice center back behind Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, therefore his playing minutes will still be limited moving forward.

Option off bench Gomez (Achilles) is on the bench for Friday's clash with Bournemouth.

Impact Gomez is back on the bench for Friday's match against Bournemouth, as expected after recovering from a minor Achilles issue. The defender is depth at center-back and right-back, though his future with Liverpool could be in doubt after the signing of Giovanni Leoni. Gomez has been hampered by injuries throughout his time with Liverpool, and could find himself the fourth-choice central defender sooner rather than later.

Impact Gomez has participated in a few team training sessions in recent days and could be available for Friday's clash against the Cherries, depending on the coach's decision. The defender is nearing a return from a minor Achilles injury and could find a spot on the bench Friday, as coach Arne Slot said he would likely take him over the youngsters for that game. That said, even if Gomez is fully fit, he will remain the third choice in central defense behind Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.

Pictured in training Gomez (Achilles) was pictured in training Wednesday, ahead of Friday's clash with Bournemouth.

Impact Gomez was back in training during Wednesday's session, a good sign as he continues to work back from what was considered a minor Achilles issue. He wasn't fit enough for the community shield, and even if he was, he remains behind Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk in the pecking order. Gomez will get minutes as Liverpool compete in four competitions, but it's unclear how many of those minutes will be in the Premier League.

Impact Gomez is still dealing with a minor injury but he will be back with the team very soon. The defender will miss the Community Shield on Sunday but could be available for the season opener against Bournemouth next Friday if everything goes as planned. That said, if he has to miss the opening game, his absence would not impact the starting XI since he is the third choice center back behind Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.

Impact Gomez is still in doubt due to the Achilles injury that forced him away from the pre-season tour of Asia. The defender isn't guaranteed to return for the Community Shield or the Premier League opener. He's the third-choice center-back when fit, behind Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.

Impact Gomez will not be with the team for their preseason tour after suffering from an Achilles injury, with the defender back in Liverpool to recover from the injury. That said, he will now go through rehabilitation in a race to be fit for the start of the season in a month. He is only slated to hold a backup role, but losing depth to enter the season would be unfortunate for the club, as they will hope he can recover within the month.

Another solid season Gomez made 32 appearances (17 starts) in the Premier League and kept five clean sheets.

Impact Gomez was the third-choice center-back for much of the season, slotting in consistently for injury and rotation as well as at either full-back role at times. The defender should remain a rock-solid option in the back line, though it's unlikely he pushes for a starting role barring injuries next season.

Impact Gomez has yet to resume team training but if his recovery goes as planned, he is expected to return for the final two or three games of the season, likely targeting a comeback against Arsenal on May 11.

Impact Gomez could feature Saturday after some time out due to a hamstring injury, as he is now a late call for Saturday. His availability will be a late call, likely coming down to a late fitness test ahead of the match. He will likely only see a bench spot if fit, but this will still be a nice additon back if he plays, as he is typically their first backup defender off the bench.

Impact Gomez is set to return within the next few weeks, as his manager has confirmed he will miss weeks instead of months as long as all of his rehabilitation goes well.
