Joe Gomez sustained a muscle injury during Liverpool's first pre-season friendly against Sunderland, leaving him likely to miss the start of the season.
Injury Confirmed
Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola confirmed the setback in a press conference in Chicago. "Joe has a muscle injury. It was quite clear since he complained straightaway, so he will be out for some weeks," Iraola said.
On the recovery timeline, Iraola added: "It’s difficult to say – normally one month. If it goes very well then a little bit less. If it goes bad then a bit more. It’s not massive. But I think it will be impossible to have him for the start of the season because we are not so far from that but it shouldn’t be a lot more."
The injury adds to Iraola's concerns as Liverpool continue their pre-season preparations in the United States.
