Liverpool manager Arne Slot gave fans an update on Joe Gomez’s status after the Defendr had to be replaced just eight minutes after the FA Cup on Sunday defeat against Plymouth Argyle.
The Englishman received captain’s tasks for the competition at Home Park, having just returned from a touches after a problem of the hamstrings supported against West Ham at the end of December.
However, he only lasted a fraction of the confrontation of the fourth tower and will now face an anxious expectation to discover the extent of his last reverse.
The fans were naturally worried and the Boss subspeal machine was questioned about the situation after the 1-0 defeat of his team.
He said, “I’m not too sure. I’m not too sure it was the same leg, but I didn’t have time to ask him.
“It was clear, I think we all know when he felt a little unsure (that) because he did not sprout completely. Then he said, “I’m not 100% sure and I’m afraid that if I do an additional sprint, things are going badly.

“It’s not torn, I guess, but it didn’t do good for him. It was a bit of a blow because Curtis Jones was on the bench, but he came to see me this morning and said to me: “I don’t think I’m still completely recovered” also after the training session of ‘yesterday.
“This suddenly led to the fact that we were with a few more young people on the field than the idea before the match, but there was always enough quality on the field to get a better result than that.”
“The result is obvious, it is a great disappointment, and the way we played (over there) was not as happy. The only thing I am happy with is that the boys continued to fight for 100 minutes. “”
Gomez was replaced by the young right back Isaac Mabaya, who himself underwent a difficult period with injuries in the past year. The 20 -year -old has become the fourth graduate of the Academy to make his debut under slot.
By entering an already young range, the change forced James McConnell in the midfield while Wataru Endo fell into the central defender to reach Jarell Quansah and Kostas Tsimikas in the background.

Gomez’s withdrawal acts as a hard blow for the oldest senior player in Liverpool, who appeared visibly discouraged when he escaped from the field – during his first appearance since his return from an absence of six weeks.
