Joe Gomez will miss Liverpool’s festive period
A club statement read: ‘Liverpool can confirm Joe Gomez sustained a fracture to the lower left leg during the 3-1 win at Burnley on Wednesday night.‘The defender needed to be substituted after 23 minutes at Turf Moor following a challenge from which he was unable to continue. ‘Gomezs injury was further assessed by the Reds medical team at Melwood on Thursday.‘Initial indications suggest the 21-year-old is facing a spell of up to six weeks out of action, though this is dependent on how his treatment and rehabilitation programmes progress.’This is the latest injury blow for Gomez, who missed England’s World Cup campaign after undergoing ankle surgery in May.Since returning to full fitness, Gomez has established himself as one of the finest defenders in the Premier League.He has missed just two of Liverpool’s 14 league matches this season, playing primarily in the centre of defence though occasionally filling in at right-back.

Gomez has been rated as one of the best defenders in the 2018/19 Premier League, but do his stats back up that claim?
  • Appearances: 13
  • Minutes: 1,048
  • Tackles per game: 1.3
  • Interceptions per game: 1.1
  • Fouls per game: 0.9
  • Blocks per game: 0.4
  • Pass completion: 87.4%
  • Yellow cards: 2
  • Red cards: 0
Earlier this year, talkSPORT pundit and former Chelsea forward Tony Cascarino expressed his belief that Gomez is already a world class player, who reminds him of Bobby Moore, England’s 1966 World Cup-winning captain.
