LIVERPOOL have been dealt another defensive blow after Joe Gomez was feared to have suffered a serious knee injury on England duty.
The 23-year-old centre back will miss tomorrow night’s international friendly against Republic of Ireland.
It’s not yet clear how long Gomez will be sidelined.
But it’s another worrying blow for Reds boss Jurgen Klopp, who has seen his defence decimated by injuries.
Virgil van Dijk is out for the season with knee ligament damage while right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold faces up to a month on the sidelines with a calf injury.
The Reds have only just welcomed back Joel Matip to their depleted backline, but makeshift centre-back Fabinho is also out.
Liverpool have been forced to play 19-year-old Rhys Williams and last year’s outcast Nat Phillips already this season.
The Reds continue their title defence against Leicester next weekend after the international break.
They also have Champions League clashes with Ajax and Atalanta on the horizon before a busy festive period in the Premier League.
England, meanwhile, face Republic of Ireland on Thursday night before Nations League clashes with Belgium and Iceland.
