I rate Gomez as much as anyone but I hope he isn't rushed back for the Euro's. England's record of picking half fit players for major tournaments isn't inspiring.5

Good news it's not the ACL again.
Betting on (not that) Rhys Williams or Nathaniel Phillips making the England squad for the Euros?1 -
Very good news. All he needs is the season put on temporary hold in spring and he'll get a few games more this season.stackitsteve said:From BBC SportThe 23-year-old's club said he had undergone "successful" surgery to repair a tendon in his left knee.
The Reds are already without fellow centre-back Virgil van Dijk because of a long-term knee ligament injury.
"The issue was isolated to Gomez's tendon, with no damage to any other associated knee ligaments," Liverpool said.
"No timescale is being placed upon his return, though the issue is likely to rule him out for a significant part of the remainder of 2020-21."
Gomez has played in all but one of Liverpool's Premier League and Champions League games this season.
The injury is not the same as the cruciate ligament injury he suffered in 2015.

Don’t ask me why, but I have a feeling we will see him back with us sometime down the line.2

Great news not as bad as thought.@SoundAsa£ that would be stunning, let’s hope so0

Well that does come into it of course.Dazzler21 said:
Is it because of his injury record?SoundAsa£ said:Don’t ask me why, but I have a feeling we will see him back with us sometime down the line.
It’s just that I would like to think a few years down the line we will be in a position to get even better players on board.
Joe has retained his interest in us from afar and because of his injuries he’s likely to not last at the top table for as long as he might have.
Only a thought on my part but quite possible when you think about it......let’s hope he continues well with his treatment and gets back to a good level of ability and fitness.2 -

Does that mean lowest recovery rate to fully fit? Or slowest rate?ForeverAddickted said:Hopefully this doesnt mean the worst for Joe!!0 -
Painful viewing seeing the scars on Joe's knee! He's a mentally strong lad and wish him the best recovery. Hope he gets there.
@sage you will find this interesting.2 -
Really really hope he recovers to be back at his best.
Best of luck to the man.

Unbelievable bad luck Joe has had with his career due to injuries. Even with one premier league medal and a champions league medal he’s missed so much football. Going to be the third tournament he’s missed due to injury.I had a punt on him to make the England squad back in 2016.2

Horrific injury and feel so sorry for him.mendonca said:Painful viewing seeing the scars on Joe's knee! He's a mentally strong lad and wish him the best recovery. Hope he gets there.

He’s actually lucky he is at a top club with all the facilities and access to the best specialists. Even then, he may never be the same player. Far too early to tell.
Can only wish him all the luck in the world. It’s very likely it could have been a career ending injury.6 -
Lowest recovery rate, does that mean it could be a career ending injury? or just the slowest rate to come back?0

As in the fewest number of athletes with that injury ever recover from it in order to be able to compete again.Karim_myBagheri said:Lowest recovery rate, does that mean it could be a career ending injury? or just the slowest rate to come back?0 -
ah... damn. hopefully he'll be the exception and come back to his best.Dazzler21 said:

I was trying to work out the source of the other scars as his ACL was the other (right) leg. Can only think back to when he was misdiagnosed by Liverpool for "conservative treatment" of a leg fracture which did then require surgery 8 weeks or so later.0

Lovely to see Joe and his wife looking class and happy.
No guys that dress isn't see through, I believe it's an optical illusion !

I’m pleased for him but he’s gutted he’s not playing today against Ukraine4

I first saw Joe play as a 15 year old ( heads up from Pigott senior) that we had a star in the making in our academy in a game at Sparrows lane.
Also my lad and I were in the Costa del Sol, 7 years ago when big Bob Peeters first took over and watched Joe Gomez glide over the pitch; held in the golf complex in the Mijas hills.
We trust that surgery has advanced enough to give Joe a chance to regain and continue his career at the highest level. He has been robbed of taking part in tournaments and I want to see this cool character and nice guy continue his upwardly mobile career.
Good luck Joe and thanks for the memory from Cafc and more memories from England in the future.4 -
Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez have both been named in Liverpool's squad for their pre-season training camp in Austria.

Great to see - and also my mind cant help but go back to England. 3 at the back with Gomez, Maguire and Stones is a lovely thought.ForeverAddickted said:2 -
my guess was that gomez was originally southgate's number one for the right side of the 3, with his excellent pace. Kyle walker seems to have that mantel for now, and was excellent in the euros to be fair to him.DamoNorthStand said:
