“The surgery, which has now addressed the issue, means the 20-year-old will play no part in the remaining two fixtures of the 2017-18 campaign, or the World Cup finals with England.

Joe Gomez sacrificed himself for Liverpool through playing against Stoke and West Brom. Undergone surgery on his ankle and will miss the Champions League final and World Cup. Hope you get well soon @J_Gomez97

Hats off to Joe Gomez for playing through the pain barrier before this ankle surgery.
Got so much abuse for his performances against West Brom and Stoke – hope people feel a little guilty for that now.

Shame on anyone who tore into Joe Gomez after West Brom and Stoke. First couple of games back after an injury at his age and in a much weakened back 4 and that's before you even consider he was still injured and playing through it.
