The defender will miss the first Merseyside derby at Hill Dickinson Stadium after being withdrawn versus Paris Saint-Germain in midweek. <\/p>\n
Gomez was introduced at the beginning of the second half of that Champions League match at Anfield but came off in the 67th minute, citing discomfort. <\/p>\n
Asked on Friday whether the No.2 is available to play against the Toffees, Arne Slot replied: “No.”<\/p>\n
The Reds head coach then offered an update on the condition of Jayden Danns. <\/p>\n
The 20-year-old last appeared for the club’s U21s side at Manchester City last month, when he was forced off after 29 minutes.<\/p>\n
“The good thing for him is that he’s been out for such a long time and he’s now getting back with the U21s, getting some playing time,” said Slot. <\/p>\n
“But I think there’s still a lot of steps to be made if you’ve not even played 90 minutes [for] the U21s, let alone then play a Premier League game. <\/p>\n
“But the first thing that comes to my mind is that he’s worked so hard \u2013 I know this because I’ve seen him around over here a lot \u2013 to be where he is now and he’s also been so unlucky to be out for such a long time. <\/p>\n
“I really like him to be back but the reality is that he’s not on the bench for us this weekend.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The defender will miss the first Merseyside derby at Hill Dickinson Stadium after being withdrawn versus Paris Saint-Germain…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":535730,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[607,608,218,596,603,598,609,611,610,134,602,601,597,606,599,604,101,600,56,54,55,605],"class_list":["post-535729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-alisson","tag-firmino","tag-football","tag-homepage","tag-klopp","tag-lfc","tag-lfc-news","tag-lfctv","tag-lfctv-go","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-liverpool-fc-match","tag-liverpool-fc-news","tag-liverpool-football-club","tag-mane","tag-reds","tag-salah","tag-sports","tag-the-reds","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-van-dijk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=535729"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535729\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/535730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=535729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=535729"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=535729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
