Gomez suffered the injury in a 3-1 victory at Burnley early in December. Liverpool’s inital assessment was that Gomez might be sidelined for six weeks, but have now refused to set a specific timescale for the England international’s recovery, although he is expected to play again this season. “Liverpool can confirm Joe Gomez is to undergo surgery to assist his recovery from a lower leg fracture sustained at Burnley on December 5,” the club said in a statement. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp added: “It’s a blow for the boy and for us — because prior to the injury he was in such fantastic shape. “Obviously being out for longer than we’d first hoped for is hard to swallow but it’s part and parcel of the industry,” he said.
