Shifts to right-back Gomez played 90 minutes during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Fulham in the EFL Cup.

Impact Gomez got the start at right-back with Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee) sidelined. With no other right-back competition for the rest of January Gomez should took a major role in the short-term future. When everyone is fit Gomez is likely a bench option, but injuries all across the backline have given Gomez plenty of minutes of late.

Back in training Gomez (undisclosed) trained fully ahead of Saturday's trip to Manchester City, Liverpool announced.

Impact Gomez is back in full training and should be an option for Saturday's trip to Manchester City. Gomez's availability poses an interesting question for manager Jurgen Klopp, as he could be an option to play as an inverted left-back. The other option is Kostas Tsimikas, who is lacking defensively to say the least. Against the brilliant Manchester City attack, Gomez could be preferred, even coming off an injury.

Misses Brentford win Gomez missed Sunday's win against Brentford with an undisclosed injury, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.

Impact Gomez went the full 90 in Thursday's loss against Toulouse, so he likely picked something up in that contest. He was turning into the preferred left-back over Kostas Tsimikas while Andrew Robertson is out, but this injury could prevent that from happening. Without Gomez, Tsimikas went a full 90 in the win against Brentford.

Impact Gomez is the fourth center-back option for Liverpool, so he may not see much time the rest of the way. That said, Liverpool have had a few injury issues, which is why Gomez has 17 starts across league and UCL play. And given the busy schedule, he could get a spot start here and there in the coming months.

Set to train next week Gomez (undisclosed) is aiming to train early next week, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.

Impact Gomez has only been out a couple weeks, so there's a chance he trains early next week and is available just before the break. Even if that's the case, he'll move back to his bench role as both Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate are healthy and starting at center-back for the Reds. Gomez had five-straight starts when multiple guys were injured and he was getting time ahead of Joel Matip.

Impressive in win Gomez had three tackles (one won), six clearances, and one interception in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Manchester City.

Impact Gomez did everything to shut down the indomitable Erling Haaland, and managed to hold the Premier League's leading scorer off the score sheet. It's a massive clean sheet for Gomez who slotted into his preferred role in central defense after picking up some playing time in right-back due to an injury to Trent Alexander-Arnold. Gomez when fully fit should be competing with Ibrahima Konate for the second center-back spot in a Liverpool back four.

Mo Salah scores fastest-ever Champions League hat trick

Mo Salah has scored the fastest-ever hat trick in Champions League history in Liverpool's 7-1 rout of Rangers

OCTOBER 12, 2022 • Associated Press

Assists from right-back Gomez assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate), and two chances created in Wednesday's 7-1 victory against Rangers FC.

Impact Gomez notched Liverpool's first assist of the season from a starting right-back. Somehow Gomez has provided an assist before the wildly creative Trent Alexander-Arnold. That certainly doesn't mean Gomez will have any claim on the job when the latter returns, but it should help secure his starting role in the two-to-three weeks Alexander-Arnold is expected to miss.

Impact Gomez wasn't fit enough to start Monday's match, but he still entered the pitch in the second half for Nathaniel Phillips, who got a surprise start. With Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konate both injured, it'll be between Gomez and Phillips to start next week's match at Manchester United.

Going with teammates Gomez (strain) made the squad list for a preseason training camp starting in Germany, it was announced Thursday.

Impact Gomez recently missed a friendly but it's a good sign if he's not left behind for further conditioning routines. Keep an eye out as further warm-up matches are played, as if he doesn't get a few opportunities by then, he may not be fully fit for the campaign. If that happens, Ibrahima Konate and Joel Matip would be more likely to play than Gomez.
