Liverpool defender Joe Gomez may need surgery

&

quot;Liverpool" defender Joe Gomez may not return to the lineup for much longer than previously thought.

In early December, the Englishman suffered a leg break, and it was initially expected that he could return to the field after about six weeks. However, nearly two months later, it is becoming clear that this period could last much longer.

During a press conference on Friday, "Liverpool" manager Jurgen Klopp commented on the rumors that Gomez may need surgery.

"I don't know, we will see. There is probably such a possibility.

This situation is not developing as we would like. The player needs more time. We will see how we solve everything.

There were moments when we thought we could deal with it one way or another. It takes time, I can't say anything more," said J. Klopp.

Prior to the injury, J. Gomez had only missed two "Premier" League matches this season and was a crucial part of "Liverpool's" defense.
