Joe Gomez injury latest
Joe Gomez lasted just 10 minutes of Liverpool's opening friendly against Sunderland before being forced off injured.
Andoni Iraola was unable to offer a full diagnosis on the injury, although the defender appeared to be struggling with a muscle problem, having had hamstring issues in the past.
Speaking to LFCTV after the game, Iraola said:
The worst news straight away was the injury of Joe. We were happy because we were going through all those trainings without losing any players, and unluckily for us, straight away, we have lost Joe.
