Joe Gomez - Page 4 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Remains as backup Gomez hasn't made any league starts this season, but remains the only natural backup option.

Impact Gomez has started only two cup games this season, with Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate forming Liverpool's preferred center-back duo pairing in the other competitions. He remains the only natural backup following Giovanni Leoni's season-ending ACL injury, and will certainly get the chance if any injury or rotation occurs. The other options are Wataru Endo and Andrew Robertson, who featured as part of a back five in their recent FA Cup outing.

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.

Late call Friday Gomez (Achilles) will be a late call for Friday's clash against Bournemouth and could make the bench, coach Arne Slot said in the press conference. "Joe, I have to make a decision...

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.

AUGUST 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Season opener in doubt Gomez (Achilles) is in doubt for the Community Shield on Sunday, per manager Arne Slot. "Unfortunately, Virgil is sick today. We miss out on Alisson. [Joe] Gomez is not there, [Con...

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.

Finds bench spot Gomez (hamstring) is on the bench for Monday's match against Brighton.

Impact Gomez was back in team training last week, so it is no surprise to see the defender on the team sheet Monday, finding a spot on the bench. This will mark his first appearance since February 9, hoping he can find a few minutes in the final two games of the season to test his legs after the long layoff.

Back in team training Gomez (hamstring) was spotted back in team training on Friday, the club posted.

Impact Gomez is progressing well in the recovery of his hamstring injury since he was spotted back in team training on Friday. He will likely be assessed in the coming days to see if he can be back available soon in the match squad, being in a good position to return against Brighton next Monday. That said, he should return to a bench role and make appearances off the bench ahead of 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. That said, even if fully fit, he should return as a bench option since he is the third central defender in the hierarchy.

Impact Gomez underwent hamstring surgery this week and faces an extended absence. That said, he could return before the end of the season if his recovery progresses well. Jarell Quansah is set for more minutes as the third central defender in his absence.
