Liverpool handed Gomez injury blow
Posted Thursday, October 15, 2015 by Foxsports.com
Liverpool have been rocked by the news that defender Joe Gomez could miss up to nine months with a knee injury.
The 19-year-old was forced off with 10 minutes remaining of England U/21's 3-0 win over Kazakhstan on Tuesday night after a seemingly innocuous challenge.
The international side's medical team were initially hopeful that it was only a minor injury and that he would not miss any real time.
However, a scan upon his return to Liverpool's Melwood training ground revealed extensive damage to the anterior cruciate ligaments in his right knee.
It comes as a major blow to the versatile defender, who made an instant impact upon joining the club from Charlton during the off-season.
Gomez started his first six games of the season after an impressive pre-season, filling in at left-back and centre-back, but could now miss the rest of the season.
