Liverpool boss Slot issues Joe Gomez injury update

The English defender made his return to the starting line-up and wore the captain's armband at Home Park after almost two months on the sidelines due to a hamstring issue. Joe Gomez's last appearance for Liverpool was during the 0-5 thrashing of West Ham on December 29.
However, his comeback was shortlived as he was subbed off ten minutes into the game after feeling some discomfort, with 20-year-old Isaac Mabaya coming on to replace him. Asked about the fitness conditions of the 27-year-old centre-back during his post-match press conference, Liverpool boss Slot admitted that he wasn't sure himself.
"I am not too sure. I am not too sure if it was the same leg, but I haven't had time to ask him," the Dutchman told the club's microphones. "It was clear, I think we all know which moment he felt a bit insecure about because he didn't sprint back fully. Then he said, 'I am not 100 per cent sure and I am afraid if I make one extra sprint things will go wrong.' It's not torn I assume, but it didn't feel good for him."
With Gomez's injury yet to be diagnosed, Slot added: "That was a bit of a blow because Curtis Jones was on the bench, but he came to me this morning and said, 'I don't think I am fully recovered yet' as well after the training session of yesterday. That all of a sudden led to the fact we were with a few more youngsters on the pitch than was the idea before the game, but still there was enough quality on the pitch to get a better result than this."
