Gomez was the only fit centre back for the Reds following Van Dijk’s injury which will keep him on the sideline for a lengthy period.

Liverpool published that the surgery is “to correct the damage” and the 23-year old “will begin a rehabilitation programme with the Reds’ medical team immediately, with club staff carefully monitoring his progress.”

The statement reported that “no timescale is being placed upon his return, though the issue is likely to rule him out for a significant part of the remainder of 2020-21.”
