Liverpool defender, Joe Gomez faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after undergoing knee surgery on Thursday, leaving manager Jurgen Klopp grappling with a deepening defensive crisis.
The centre-back damaged a tendon in his left knee on Wednesday during an England training session. There were fears that the injury was similar to that suffered last month by Virgil van Dijk, who required surgery for knee ligament damage, but Liverpool have confirmed Gomez did not suffer ligament damage.
