Could be option for opener Gomez could be an option to start Saturday's opener against Norwich City, according to manager Jurgen Klopp."I think so, it looks like [they are available to start]. But how it is...

Impact Gomez has played in a few friendlies, but it's hard to see him being ready for a full 90 and starting this month, similar to Virgil van Dijk. Given the presence of Ibrahima Konate in the squad, Gomez probably won't be rushed back from his knee injury.

Plays extended minutes Thursday Gomez started and went more than 30 minutes in Thursday's friendly against Bologna.

Impact It's the second friendly for Gomez, a good sign with the season less than 10 days away. He probably won't be ready to start the opener, but it looks like Liverpool will be close to 100 percent on the back line, though if that's the case, Gomez will likely play more of a bench role.

Impact Similar to Virgil van Dijk, it's going to be a process for Gomez to get back on the pitch. He returned to training a little more than a week ago so in addition to getting back to complete health with his knee, he also has to get back his fitness. While he could be ready for the start of the season, he may not be ready for a full 90 by then.

Impact Gomez comes back a day after Virgil van Dijk made his own return to training in what is a massively positive sign for Liverpool's defense heading into next season. He'll still need to make it through the preseason to confirm his return, though there's still a month to go before any final decisions have to be made.
