LFC suffer injury blow before Southampton clash

Posted by

Liverpool will again be without Joe Gomez for the away trip to Southampton.

The Englishman, who’s our starting right-back in the extended absence of Nathaniel Clyne, missed the Spurs draw with a knee injury and won’t be risked on Sunday.

As a result, Trent Alexander-Arnold will keep his spot in the side.

The Scouser offers more going forward than Gomez, and was promising against Tottenham, although he’s showed inconsistency this campaign.

Obviously that can be forgiven because he’s very young and learning his trade.

Trent’s talent is exceptional and we’ve no doubts that he’ll eventually become a regular in the side for years to come.

Eventually, Liverpool fans would like to see Gomez switch to centre-back, alongside Virgil van Dijk, with Alexander-Arnold at right-back.

The youngster has experience of playing in midfield though, and we can actually see him offering something in a box-to-box role in the future.
