Back in team training
Gomez (muscle) took part in Liverpool's open training session Tuesday, his first involvement with the group since sustaining the injury during preseason, according to Ian Doyle of Liverpool Echo.
Analysis: Gomez has been sidelined since picking up a muscle injury during preseason, with the problem initially expected to keep him out for around a month and ultimately ruling him out of the opening league fixtures. The defender has now returned to team training, arriving on the timeline Andoni Iraola had set out and providing Liverpool with some much-needed depth at the back.
Set to return to training next week
Gomez (strain) will be back in team training next week, according to manager Andoni Iraola. "The closest one is Joe. Joe will probably start training with us next week and it has gone normally, the recovery, from a muscle injury, more or less we were expecting the time on this. I hope we can have him before the break, let's say."
Analysis: Gomez had been dealing with a muscle strain suffered in a preseason friendly in Nashville, an injury manager Iraola had previously estimated could keep him out for around a month. His planned return to training next week suggests his recovery is progressing on schedule, giving Liverpool back a natural option in central defense as the club continues its season.
