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. Gomez will likely fall to the bench when Trent Alexander-Arnold (hamstring) returns but Gomez has shown why he is so valuable to the team.

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. With no other right-back competition for the rest of January Gomez should took a major role in the short-term future. 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. He was turning into the preferred left-back over Kostas Tsimikas while Andrew Robertson is out, but this injury could prevent that from happening. 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.

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

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.

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.

Impressive in win Gomez had three tackles (one won), six clearances, and one interception in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Manchester City.

Impact Gomez did everything to shut down the indomitable Erling Haaland, and managed to hold the Premier League's leading scorer off the score sheet. It's a massive clean sheet for Gomez who slotted into his preferred role in central defense after picking up some playing time in right-back due to an injury to Trent Alexander-Arnold. Gomez when fully fit should be competing with Ibrahima Konate for the second center-back spot in a Liverpool back four.

Mo Salah scores fastest-ever Champions League hat trick

Mo Salah has scored the fastest-ever hat trick in Champions League history in Liverpool's 7-1 rout of Rangers

OCTOBER 12, 2022 • Associated Press

Assists from right-back Gomez assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate), and two chances created in Wednesday's 7-1 victory against Rangers FC.

Impact Gomez notched Liverpool's first assist of the season from a starting right-back. Somehow Gomez has provided an assist before the wildly creative Trent Alexander-Arnold. That certainly doesn't mean Gomez will have any claim on the job when the latter returns, but it should help secure his starting role in the two-to-three weeks Alexander-Arnold is expected to miss.
