Joe Gomez’s injury woes persist as he suffers another setback. The England defender was forced off in the first half of Liverpool’s FA Cup clash against Plymouth with a suspected hamstring injury.
Having already missed 11 games earlier this season due to a similar issue, Gomez had to be substituted in the 11th minute, with Isaac Mabaya coming on in his place.
Given his history of hamstring problems, there is concern that this could be another significant injury. ITV 1 footage during the match showed Gomez refraining from sprinting to cover a Plymouth counter-attack, though he was able to walk off the pitch, which might indicate the issue isn’t too severe.
Manager Arne Slot is expected to provide further details after the game. If confirmed, recovery time could range from 3 to 12 weeks, depending on the severity. However, there is hope that Gomez recognized the problem early, potentially minimizing the impact of the injury.
