Gomez D-Day

JURGEN KLOPP has revealed Liverpool are in talks with England boss Gareth Southgate over whether Joe Gomez will be included in the Three Lions squad this week.

Reds defender Gomez has been nursing an Achilles injury but played 90 minutes yesterday.

Southgate will today decide whether to call up Gomez for the USA friendly and Nations League clash with Croatia after talks with the Reds.

Klopp said: “Joe has played all the games. We are not sure, we are in talks about that.”

The Kop boss has no issues with skipper Jordan Henderson linking up with England, though, despite only returning from a hamstring injury as a substitute yesterday.

He said: “Hendo, for him, he is 100 per cent fit and needs games as well.”

Naby Keita made his first appearance, as a sub, yesterday since picking up a thigh injury during the last international break with Guinea.

His lack of football means Klopp is happy for the midfielder to play for his country against Ivory Coast on Sunday.

He added: “I always want them to stay here, but in this case it’s good for him.

“Guinea play one game and that’s good for him.

“He’s fit and trained for five days. Now he’ll have another four or five days training and play a game. It’s brilliant for him.”
