England boss Gareth Southgate watched Gomez during Liverpool’s win at Crystal Palace on Monday night and is a big fan of the versatile 21-year-old.
Gomez would have almost certainly gone to the World Cup but for injury and is likely to be drafted back in for the double header with Spain and Switzerland next month.
Southgate names his squad on August 30, with Chelsea’s Gary Cahill at risk because he is in danger of losing his first-team place at Stamford Bridge.
NORTHERN IRELAND midfielder Chris Brunt has announced his retirement from international football.
The 33-year-old won 65 caps and scored three goals for his country in a career that began in 2004.
Brunt said it was tough, but he decided “to focus on playing for West Brom”.
Northern Ireland boss Michael O’Neill said: “I am disappointed, however, I understand his decision.”
