Liverpool defender returns to training ahead of RB Leipzig pre-season friendly

Prior to Liverpool’s victory over Crystal Palace in a preseason friendly, Joe Gomez sustained an injury.

Joe Gomez has resumed his training at Liverpool.

At the club’s Kirkby training facility on Monday, the center-back participated in a session.

Gomez missed Friday’s 2-0 preseason-friendly victory over Crystal Palace in Singapore after recently agreeing to a new contract that will keep him at Anfield through 2025.

The England international had sustained a minor issue and was not risked.

But Gomez was snapped back in training in what appeared to be a session for those who were part of the first wave of players to report back for duty.

Jordan Henderson, Joel Matip, Luis Diaz, Harvey Elliott, Fabio Carvalho, and Nat Phillips were spotted.

However, there was no sign of Caoimhin Kelleher and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Kelleher did not travel with Liverpool to the Far East after suffering a setback in training.

Oxlade-Chamberlain, meanwhile, picked up a hamstring complaint against Palace.

Alisson Becker suffered an abdominal issue in Asia but Jurgen Klopp is hopeful the keeper will be available for the Community Shield against Manchester City on Saturday 30 July.

Diogo Jota has been ruled out of the clash against City due to a hamstring issue.

Liverpool continues their preparations for the 2022-23 campaign when they take on RB Leipzig on Thursday.

The Reds then travel to Austria for a training camp.
