I'm a bit squeamish when it comes to injuries so I didn't watch the replays - did it look like knee or ankle?

Is it just me or does Gomez get a higher proportion of these injuries playing fullback than CB? The big one in 2020 was with England in training, but this one and his Burnley one were both while playing RB.

It looked like the Southampton player fell on his ankle
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

Joe Gomez has had a scan on the ankle injury sustained versus Southampton. No serious damage which is a positive outcome. Liverpool are confident he will be available for the Champions League final if his recovery goes as planned.

At first looked like knee, second viewing he clearly rolls his ankle. Basically his leg/knee dont firmly plant but his foot takes all the weight and rolls under the pressure. As Joyce has confirmed didnt look like a bad roll though, just something you can do. Prolly swollen and sore for a week or so

Secondly i think you get put into higher intensity. last ditch situations as full back

Also your body does a lot more as a full back than CB so yea isnt shocking at all

Had to do a double take then. Joe Gomez, getting a little bit of luck following an injury? Some mistake here, surely?

My sources* tell me that the club have opened talks with Big Joe Dave since the start of pre-season to extend his contract, and that he wants to stay.

Good to hear he wants to stay and fight for his place.  If he's finally over his injury problems he's a real asset, pacey home-grown centre back who's more than comfortable on the ball.

It’s fantastic that he’s signed a new long term deal. There would be a fair few clubs interested if it was made clear he was available, but he has the strength of character to know he can make even more of a success of it here. And of course, what a place to be!

If Joe has an injury free pre-season there can be one heck of a battle for those spots next season  :o  Virgil, Matip, Konate and Gomez is a ridiculously talented group of central defenders.

I know people hate the 'contract renewal vs new signings' debate, but if we can get Naby and/or Bobby re-signed this summer that's a proper statement I think. Mo goes without saying is a really big renewal, a world class player at the peak of his power staying when he could have earned more elsewhere. But this is really big too. A top class young CB who could have got a move to another good club, and was 4th choice here last season, committing long term. Shows he's a smart, confident young man that he's not thrown his toys out of the pram like others might have.

I'm delighted with this. He's a fantastic player - and the best English centre back in the game.

He might want to add a few goals to his game but he has everything else. Killer pace, composure, positional acumen, aggression, and creativity on the ball. Youth is also on his side. Allez Joe.

Great news!!!

All of our defenders are tied down until ATLEAST 2025 now if not more

Gomez is our most versatile defender too, can play both sides of CB and both full back positions. Great asset to have even if can struggle with injuries, seemed to manage well last season with reduced minutes after recovering from the bad injury so hopefully hes in a good spot now and can crack on

Brilliant defender

Our CB depth is insane, easily the best in the world.
