Joe Gomez admits watching Liverpool’s ‘historic’ season from the sidelines has hurt him

Gomez, the defender, began the season as Jurgen Klopp’s first choice to partner Virgil Van Dijk at centre-back, while also providing cover for Trent Alexander-Arnold on the right.

However, a lower-leg fracture sustained in a challenge with Burnley’s Ben Mee on December 5 – where he was expected to be sidelined for six weeks but a setback meant he required a second operation – delayed his comeback until mid-April.

As a result the England international featured just six times – with his only start coming in the 3-0 Champions League semi-final defeat in Barcelona – during the thrilling title run-in and progress to a second successive European Cup final.

The 21-year-old has admitted that was difficult to take.

“It’s probably underestimated a bit how much it can affect us as footballers,” he told liverpoolfc.com.
