LIVERPOOL
\nJoe Gomez suffered what looked like a nasty leg injury on Tuesday against Southampton.
\nThe defender, starting because of squad rotation by manager Jurgen Klopp, went down after an attempted challenge late in the first half.
\nGomez remained in the match until half-time before making way at the break for Jordan Henderson, with James Milner shifting to right-back.
\n\u00abI hope we were lucky,\u00bb Klopp told reporters after Liverpool\u203as 2-1 win. \u00abHe has pain but not too much. He got a real shock to the system. But he\u203as sitting in the dressing room and was in a good mood when I spoke to him.\u00bb
\nThe defender has been unlucky with his health over the course of Klopp\u203as tenure, with this being just the latest in a long line of injuries. He has previously dealt with achilles, ankle and various knee problems.
\nGomez has been rarely used this campaign as other defenders have been prioritised.
\nThe lack of playing time has led to speculation he could depart Anfield this summer, with Aston Villa one of the teams most regularly linked, but nothing has been determined yet regarding his future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
