News about Joe Gomez

JOE BERNSTEIN AT ANFIELD: Mo Salah returned with a goal and assist before Liverpool held off an unexpected Tottenham comeback in Jurgen Klopp's penultimate game at Anfield. Liverpool were in rampant form and Spurs shambolic in the first hour as Klopp's side raced into a 4-0 lead. But the arrival of substitute Richarlison helped the visitors pull a couple of goals back to provide some late jeopardy. All eyes were on Salah before kick off after he was restored to Klopp's starting line-up after their bust-up at West Ham last weekend.

The defender played 84 minutes at Goodison Park on Wednesday night before being withdrawn for Joe Gomez, much to the amusement of the home crowd in Merseyside. The 2-0 loss puts the Reds four points adrift of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League with four games to go, with the hopes of winning the title in Jurgen Klopp's final game all but gone. It's been a rough few weeks for Liverpool, who have dropped a number of points as a season that had promised so much collapsed around them and their players.

Jurgen Klopp fumed when Joe Gomez attempted a wild shot on goal in Thursday's crushing 3-0 defeat against Atalanta as the England star's agonising wait for a first Reds goal dragged on. Defeat ended Liverpool's previous 33-game unbeaten home streak as Gianluca Scamacca's brace and an 83rd-minute Mario Pasalic strike secured a magic victory for the Serie A visitors.

MATT BARLOW: After a fruitful year in the FA Youth Cup, no club will know the wellbeing of its academy, but for the casual observer, a prestigious tournament is always a useful barometer. Leeds United have reached the final for the first time this century and face Manchester City, a dependable force since the Abu Dhabi takeover. They are prestigious academies, with 26 out of a total of 26 in English football bestowed with Category One status, but the Youth Cup this season will be regarded as a triumph for those struggling for survival in the undergrowth.

Fans of England have urged Gareth Southgate to be brave and fast track a Championship star in the squad for Euro 2024, in case Luke Shaw isn't fit in time. The Manchester United full-back is competing to be fit for the Euros as he fights to recover from his thigh injury and then get enough minutes for his club to justify his selection. Since being Southgate's first choice left-back, Ben Chilwell, Kieran Trippier, and Joe Gomez are all available as back-ups, Southgate will not want to gamble unless Shaw can demonstrate his fitness.

Jude Bellingham's late equalizer ensured the Three Lions didn't lose both of their games in the new international break, with Real Madrid's Joker making it 2-2 in the last kick of the game. Ivan Toney's penalty had canceled out Youri Tielemans' opener, but the Aston Villa man was shot again following Lewis Dunk's mistake and brought his team back to first place in the first half. Southgate was able to get a glimpse at a number of his players, as the likes of Anthony Gordon, Ezri Konsa, and Joe Gomez were all enjoying minutes at Wembley.

After beating England 1-0 on Saturday evening, Joe Gomez has struck out at Brazil and their ill-discipline. Gareth Southgate's side suffered their first defeat since the 2022 World Cup against the Selecao, with 17-year-old Endrick netting a late winner at Wembley. Despite more possession and plenty of ambition, England couldn't find the right strength to get back to the game, with Brazil's tenacity assisting Dorival Junior in winning his first game since taking over.

Gomez knew it was coming as England boss Gareth Southgate handed the Liverpool defender his first call-up in four years last week. It seemed that he was returning to the scene of the shooting. Since going to St George's Park on international service, Gomez decided to leave in an ambulance after suffering a bizarre knee injury in preparation. So, when he stepped out on to the exact same training pitch, you could excuse the versatile defender for being a little tense.

Southgate's 25-man squad will face Brazil and Belgium in friendlies over the next fortnight, with the Three Lions boss bringing his players together for the final time before the summer's Euros. Southgate was given the opportunity to work with some fringe players for the first time as a result of a variety of players out of town due to injuries, including Luke Shaw and Jack Grealish. Anthony Gordon and Jarrad Branthwaite's first senior team calls-ups, while Cole Palmer and Joe Gomez have been given the opportunity to shine ahead of the tournament.

Jarrad Branthwaite and Newcastle's Anthony Gordon have been given their first England call-ups. Both players have been recognized for their solid play this season, and they will hope to win their first caps against Brazil and Belgium in friendlies later this month. Kalvin Phillips has been ruled out of the new squad, despite the fact that striker Ivan Toney has won a recall.

MAGICAL MOKBEL: Kalvin Phillips has been suspended for the England squad for the games against Brazil and Belgium, while Jarrad Branthwaite and Anthony Gordon have been given their first call-ups. Gareth Southgate has sent Ivan Toney and Joe Gomez recalls. Following his batting ban, Toney returned to Brentford action in January and has scored four goals in nine appearances, earning him an instant return to the international stage.

MATT BARLOW: Joe Gomez owes his England recall to his superior form and consistency for Liverpool rather than his ability to fill in anywhere across the back line or even as a deep midfielder. He's back to his best, with high hopes in a winning team at the end of the Premier League, but it's clear that genuine versatility is a rare commodity as an international tournament comes into view. Gomez, who is more versatile than the humble potato, will be one of the squad's options for Euro 2024, where squad size will be limited to 23 for the first time since the World Cup in 2018.

SAMI MOKBEL: Gareth Southgate, England's head coach, is considering returning Joe Gomez for international service. The versatile Liverpool defender has debuted as one of Jurgen Klopp's most reliable seasons, and he is firmly on Southgate's radar ahead of his squad announcement against Brazil and Belgium on Thursday. Gomez has not played for England since October 20, but Southgate - who is facing a dilemma about whether or not to choose Kalvin Phillips - is now in line for selection, with Luke Shaw, Marc Guehi, Kieran Trippier, and Reece James all out, although there are questions regarding Levi Colwell and Harry Maguire.

LEWIS STEELE IN PRAGUE: Ibrahima Konate's injury following his disqualification from Liverpool's victory over Sparta Prague in May has caused fear that he will be another casualty in Sunday's title tussle with Manchester City. In a thumping victory for the Reds, Konate demanded to be recalled early in the second half of the 5-1 victory, in which Darwin Nunez scored a first-half brace to add to Alexis Mac Allister, Luis Diaz, and Dominik Szoboszlai goals. As he walked off the field, he seemed to be holding his hamstring and in some discomfort, causing several Liverpool fans to be concerned that this would be another injury to add to their long list of injuries before the Treble winners' visit.

Liverpool suffered with a defensive scare just days before facing Manchester City, when Ibrahima Konate was forced to leave during their match against Sparta Prague. Jurgen Klopp's side took over in the Czech capital, with Alexis Mac Allister assisting in the scoring after just five minutes from the penalty spot. Darwin Nunez scored two more goals for the visitors before the break, including 50 goals as a Liverpool player and 100 goals since Jurgen Klopp's joining the club in the process.

On social media, Liverpool fans rejoiced after Joe Gomez denied a particular goal in the game against Sparta Prague just moments before Darwin Nunez doubled their lead. After the Argentinian was brought down inside the box just five minutes into the match in Prague, Jurgen Klopp's side took the lead thanks to an Alexis Mac Allister penalty. Nonetheless, the hosts gathered strength, and Lukas Haraslin, a winger, later discovered himself on a one with Caoimhin Kelleher, giving them a golden opportunity to equalize.

Jurgen Klopp has backed Joe Gomez's calls for an England recall, claiming he will be able to fill four different positions in Gareth Southgate's Euro squad. Gomez earned his last 11 international caps in 2020, but he has been playing right-back, center-back, left-back, and in the last few games midfield to help cover the club's injury crisis. With injury doubts over several players including Kieran Trippier, Marc Guehi and Harry Maguire in addition to longer-term absentees Luke Shaw, Tyrone Mings and Reece James, 26-year-old Gomez has hit form at the right time with England's next squad announcement due on March 14 for games later this month against Brazil and Belgium

MATT BARLOW: Joe Gomez has not been in an England squad since the fall of 2020, and his last glimpse of international service was not pleasant. Gomez sustained a serious knee injury while observing the ball at St George's Park ahead of a friendly against the Republic of Ireland. It was a freakish accident that kept him out for nine months after surgery, but Gareth Southgate had forged the squad that reached the final of the Euros against Italy in 2021, but it was a strange coincidence that had kept him out for nine months.

After watching Joe Gomez try to open his goal-scoring account with a long-range attack, Jurgen Klopp and the Liverpool bench were left in hysterics. Klopp watched on as his team defeated Southampton 3-0 in their FA Cup fifth round match, with Jayden Danns and Lewis Koumas finding the net to seal the deal. Given the Reds' growing injury issues, a number of Liverpool's youngsters were given a run out at Anfield, with Gomez one of the few senior players on the pitch.

The £272 million, up £25 million from off-field earnings, was Liverpool's highest income stream in 2022-23, but a year after winning the final, the television money decreased by £19 million to £242 million. Matchday's earnings dropped by £7 million due to fewer games being played during the 2013 season, the club's first campaign saw them win both domestic and tournament finals.

Gomez has been a key contributor to the Reds' success this season, having played a variety of positions in the team to help with injuries in his 36 appearances this season. He played in midfield for his side's 3-0 victory over Southampton in the FA Cup on Wednesday night and received raves for his efforts. Infamously, the 26-year-old has never scored a senior goal, struggling to find the back of the net in 233 professional games for Charlton and Liverpool as well as in all competitions.

After footage of the Reds defender assisting Conor Bradley in a mid-game bust up with Chelsea's Ben Chilwell, Liverpool fans were quick to praise Joe Gomez's influence. On Sunday, the two Premier League giants met in a thrilling Carabao Cup final, with captain Virgil van Dijk winning it for the Reds at Wembley in extra time. After Chelsea had looked close to winning it in normal time, Jurgen Klopp's side won the added half an hour, but Caoimhin Kelleher wasted or saved numerous chances.

Joe Gomez, a defender for Liverpool, has agreed that winning more trophies will not change manager Jurgen Klopp's mind about retiring at the end of the season. Klopp rated his 1-0 victory over Chelsea as "the most rare" silverware he had won after his team escaped from an injury scare, rising from 11 first-team absences to victory with four academy players on the pitch at the end.

On February 25, Liverpool will face Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final, putting the Reds versus Luton and Blues versus Tottenham postponed. Both Manchester City's match against Brentford was postponed due to the champions' participation in the Club World Cup. That means four teams will play twice in the week, raising the chance for more points. Mail Sport has chosen ten of the best double gameweek picks out of ten.
