Liverpool have announced defender Joe Gomez will undergo surgery to aid his recovery from the leg fracture he suffered in the Reds' 3-1 win at Burnley in December.
The club confirmed the decision via their official website on Monday and said Gomez is "likely" to feature again this season. Manager Jurgen Klopp commented on the decision to undergo surgery in a bid to aid Gomez's recovery:
“It’s a blow for the boy and for us - because prior to the injury he was in such fantastic shape.
“But he is too valuable to take any risk with, both for our present and future, so we get this procedure done and he comes back when he’s ready.
