Joe Gomez is set to miss the rest of the Premier League season after suffering a cruciate knee ligament injury, dealing new boss Jurgen Klopp his first blow as Liverpool boss.
The defender sustained the injury during the latter stages of England under-21’s 3-0 victory over Kazakhstan on Tuesday night in Coventry.
Gomez was a key player under former boss Brendan Rodgers and Klopp is also believed to be an admirer of the 18-year-old having sent scouts to watch him at Charlton Athletic last season.
Klopp had the opportunity to cast an eye over his squad for the first time at Melwood on Wednesday as he prepares to take charge of his first game since taking the Reds’ hotseat, against Tottenham on Saturday.
