Liverpool Face Right-Back Dilemma as Joe Gomez Doubt Persists for PSV

Slot signals uncertainty at right-back after disclosing Joe Gomez's recent knee injection.

Overview

  • Arne Slot confirmed Gomez will travel for the Champions League tie but said he is not certain to start after last week’s knee injection and interrupted training.
  • With Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong injured, Dominik Szoboszlai or Curtis Jones could be used at right-back if Gomez is not selected.
  • Florian Wirtz remains unavailable, shaping how Slot deploys his midfield if Szoboszlai is moved out of his preferred role.
  • Twenty outfield players trained on Tuesday, but only 18 can be eligible for PSV, with Calvin Ramsay and James Norris unable to join List B and Kaide Gordon registerable if submitted in time.
  • Gomez was an unused substitute in Saturday’s 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest, which extended Liverpool’s run to eight defeats in their last 11 matches.
