Impact Gomez will be sidelined for a few weeks due to injury.

Impact Gomez looks to be the third defender heading to the sidelines for Liverpool, with the defender suffering a hamstring after pulling up during a sprint Sunday. He is set to miss "quite a bit" according to their manager, likely meaning weeks on the sidelines. He must still seek further testing, although the initial thoughts don't seem optimistic. He has started in their past seven matches so this will force a change. Jarell Quansah is the leading contender to take his spot after replacing him against the Hammers, but if Ibrahima Konate (foot) returns soon, he will likely reclaim his starting role.

Quiet day Gomez recorded one shot (one on goal) in Tuesday's 1-0 win versus Girona. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 79th minute.

Impact Gomez didn't have much to do at center-back, as Liverpool largely controlled the match Tuesday. It was a solid showing, and a good basis to build from as Gomez is in for more minutes while Ibrahima Konate recovers from a lower body issue. Gomez will continue to partner Virgil van Dijk as well as provide cover at right-back for Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Remains in bottom of depth chart Gomez has made just one Premier League appearance off the bench for Liverpool.

Impact Gomez has been a member of Liverpool since 2015, but he is currently at the bottom on the depth chart. His performance has declined in recent season, leaving Kostas Tsimikas hasas the established backup to Andrew Robertson at left back. As a result, Gomez is now the third-string option at that position.

Busy in versatile role Gomez made 32 appearances (17 starts) in a variety of roles during the Premier League.

Impact Gomez was perhaps the most important part of Liverpool's squad throughout the season, as he filled in at right-back, left-back and center-back. The defender was excellent in all three roles and earned a call up back into the England squad after showing this level. The issue for Gomez is that while he was excellent in all those roles, it's tough to see him taking the starting job anywhere in the backline moving forward.

Returns to training Gomez (illness) was pictured in team training Tuesday, ahead of Saturday's trip to Brentford.

Impact Gomez missed out against Burnley after picking up the flu but is already back with the team. It wasn't a serious issue, though Gomez still may end up back on the bench moving forward with Andrew Robertson fit once more.

Assists late Sunday Gomez assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-0 win over AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Gomez has been Liverpool's flex player throughout the backline and he put together another brilliant showing during Sunday's rout. The full-back even popped up with a late goal contribution on a lovely floated cross to Darwin Nunez.

Shifts to right-back Gomez played 90 minutes during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Fulham in the EFL Cup.

Impact Gomez got the start at right-back with Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee) sidelined.

When everyone is fit Gomez is likely a bench option, but injuries all across the backline have given Gomez plenty of minutes of late.

Back in training Gomez (undisclosed) trained fully ahead of Saturday's trip to Manchester City, Liverpool announced.

Impact Gomez is back in full training and should be an option for Saturday's trip to Manchester City. Gomez's availability poses an interesting question for manager Jurgen Klopp, as he could be an option to play as an inverted left-back. The other option is Kostas Tsimikas, who is lacking defensively to say the least. Against the brilliant Manchester City attack, Gomez could be preferred, even coming off an injury.

Misses Brentford win Gomez missed Sunday's win against Brentford with an undisclosed injury, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.

Impact Gomez went the full 90 in Thursday's loss against Toulouse, so he likely picked something up in that contest.

Without Gomez, Tsimikas went a full 90 in the win against Brentford.

Struggles in new role Gomez generated one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Luton Town.

Impact Gomez shifted to left-back Sunday and looked totally uncomfortable in the new role. While Kostas Tsimikas might not be an elite option this performance from Gomez likely earned Tsimikas a firm hold on the starting job at left-back moving forward while Andrew Robertson (shoulder) is sidelined.

Impressive in start Gomez registered six crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Wolverhampton.

Impact Gomez got the start with Trent Alexander-Arnold (hamstring) sidelined. Gomez is more comfortable at the center of the defense but he is a passable option at right-back when needed. Gomez could see more minutes at right-back as a hectic part of the schedule including European competitions begins for Liverpool, starting with a Thursday clash with LASK.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starts against Villa Gomez got the start and played 90 minutes during Sunday's 3-0 win over Aston Villa.

Impact Gomez got the start with Liverpool down their top two defensive options via injury to Ibrahima Konate and suspension to Virgil van Dijk. Gomez is a depth option at right-back and center-back, but isn't likely to see major starting minutes in the Premier League.

Impact Gomez started the season with 18 starts in his first 24 matches, but since had made just two starts. This was due to an undisclosed injury that dropped him in the depth chart to end the season. The defender will have to compete with Joel Matip on who will be the backup to Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate for the 2023/24 campaign.

Available going forward Gomez (undisclosed) stayed on the bench in the last match against Real Madrid and is "full back," according to manager Jurgen Klopp.

Impact Gomez is the fourth center-back option for Liverpool, so he may not see much time the rest of the way. That said, Liverpool have had a few injury issues, which is why Gomez has 17 starts across league and UCL play. And given the busy schedule, he could get a spot start here and there in the coming months.

MARCH 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set to train next week Gomez (undisclosed) is aiming to train early next week, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.

Impact Gomez has only been out a couple weeks, so there's a chance he trains early next week and is available just before the break. Even if that's the case, he'll move back to his bench role as both Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate are healthy and starting at center-back for the Reds. Gomez had five-straight starts when multiple guys were injured and he was getting time ahead of Joel Matip.
