Liverpool defender sends heartfelt message to striker following news of crushing injury blow

Posted by

If anyone in the Liverpool squad knows what it is like to go through a long term injury layoff, it is Joe Gomez.

The 19-year-old has taken to Instagram to show his support for striker Danny Ings after it was announced that he would require surgery on his knee, meaning he will be out for the remainder of the season.

Ings and Gomez both spent last season on the sidelines after suffering serious knee injuries in the same week during their first season at the club.

The pair built a strong friendship during their recovery period, offering each other support and striving to ensure they both stayed positive during a tough time.

Gomez knows the pain of enduring one lengthy spell away from the game, so he will undoubtedly be able to acknowledge what a difficult reality this is for Ings to accept.

The overwhelming support for the former Burnley man poses as one positive to be taken at this early stage.

Jurgen Klopp and the players are all behind Ings and desperate to see him come through this setback and experience the success he deserves.
