NewsInjury update: Joe Gomez, Dominik Szoboszlai and more

Gomez was forced off during the first half of the 2-0 Premier League win over Brighton & Hove Albion at Anfield.

Szoboszlai, who was redeployed to right-back in Gomez's place, then had to be withdrawn in the closing stages too.

Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com post-match, head coach Slot said: "If I have a player who goes off with a muscle injury like Joe, that's normally not a positive thing.

"I would not expect him to be in the squad next week [at Tottenham Hotspur]. But sometimes you get a positive surprise.

"People now maybe understand a bit better why I was always so cautious not to play him so many games. I assume many people thought, 'If you have a defender, if you have a right full-back, why don't you play him?'

"And Dom, it was his ankle. It didn't look great when I just saw him. But he has unbelievable mentality so let's hope for the best.

"The good thing is that Conor Bradley comes back from a suspension [next week] and normally Jeremie Frimpong will train with us also.

"But we're also going to miss Mo [Salah] because he is going to go to the Africa Cup of Nations."
