llArne Slot has provided an injury update on both Diogo Jota and Joe Gomez with the pair both on the sidelines for a sustained period of time.

Gomez suffered a hamstring injury during Liverpool’s 5-0 victory over West Ham United on December 29, 20241.



The versatile 27-year-old was forced off in the first half.

His absence has been keenly felt, with the defender missing seven matches since sustaining the injury, and the likes of Wataru Endo having to fill in at centre-back on occasion.
