Gomez

Ref.Liverpoolfc.com
A classy, unflappable defender who can operate anywhere across the backline, Joe Gomez has overcome serious injury setbacks to become a Champions League winner and key member of Liverpool’s squad by the age of just 22.
Signed from Charlton Athletic in the summer of 2015, Gomez has featured regularly for the Reds at centre-back, right-back and left-back.
Handed his senior debut for Liverpool on the opening day of the 2015-16 season, aged just 18, Gomez sustained a serious knee injury while on international duty with England U21s shortly after Jürgen Klopp’s arrival in October 2015.
After a 17-month spell on the sidelines, Gomez returned to action in January 2017, and signed a new long-term contract with the club that same month.
The following campaign, 2017-18, saw Gomez make 31 appearances for the Reds as they reached the Champions League final, where they lost out to Real Madrid.
An outstanding start to 2018-19, during which he primarily partnered Virgil van Dijk at the heart of Klopp’s defence, was rewarded with another new deal in December 2018, although his progress had been stymied by a lower-leg fracture sustained a week before he put pen to paper.
Gomez returned to fitness in April, and featured in the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final of the Champions League as Liverpool went one better than 12 months earlier by beating Tottenham Hotspur in Madrid.
The defender has represented England through the age groups and is now an established member of his country’s senior squad.

Having begun the month with a penalty shootout defeat by Manchester City in the FA Community Shield, the Reds bounced back immediately to beat Norwich City 4-1 at Anfield on the opening day of the top-flight campaign. An own goal by Grant Hanley and strikes from Mohamed Salah , Divock Origi and Virgil van Dijk - who would be named UEFA Men's Player of the Year later in August - saw Jürgen Klopp's side surge into a four-goal, half-time lead. An eventful first 45 minutes also saw Adrian make his debut for the club just four days after signing, the goalkeeper replacing the injured Alisson Becker for his first of 11 consecutive appearances in the league and Europe. And, five days later, the Spaniard would prove to be Liverpool's hero in Istanbul. Following a 2-2 draw after extra-time, the Reds overcame Chelsea on pe
