Joe Gomez

[Venton]

So Joe's had a cruciate ligament injury, achilles issues, ankle surgery and now a serious knee injury, all by the age of 23. Not looking good for him really is it? Our defence is cursed.

[lickedlollipop]

Omfg man.. This is a joke. Unbelievable.

[SB]

Gutted for him & of course for us. We’ve got to get some one or two fillers in at Xmas now.

[wiw]

So we're in the 3rd international break already, and Gomez gets injured training for a friendly. A friendly ffs. What a joke

In these extreme scenarios aren't you able to apply for special exception to sign a replacement as Barca did with Martin Braithwaite?

It depends on the league.

La Liga has provision. Not sure about Premier League

That was quick.

If it was similar injury to Virgil's they wouldn't have been able to operate so far.

Fingers crossed for the lad

This season? FFS, I was hoping for 'this year' or 'next half of the season'.

So that's our first two choices out for the season.

I'd piss myself if Williams and Phillips turn out to be world class

[Shaggy]

Phillips definitely isn't / won't be but he'll be good for any aerial bombardments. Who knows re Williams, but for a 19 year old who was playing against the likes of ****ing Blyth Spartans and Curzon Ashton last season to be anything like close to being a regular for us this season is not good.

Well Plovdiv Blovdiv outplayed Man Utd so there's always hope.

[Montana]

No ligament damage? Hopefully back by March / April then fingers crossed.

Wouldn't surprise me if Klopp moves Gini or Hendo into centre back positions alongside Matip.

Milner might end up playing some games there, I could see Robbo moving inside with Tsmikas plating at full back as well. Noting will be off the table to get us to the January window whilst still in touch.

[Buzzo]

Seem like we will be facing an unavoidable dip into the war chest in January then.

We seem to have a CB injury crisis every winter so a new one is pretty much a must whatever happens.
