Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola has confirmed that defender Joe Gomez suffered a muscle injury during the team's first pre-season friendly against Sunderland in Nashville. Gomez, 29, was substituted after just eight minutes and handed the captain's armband to Kostas Tsimikas. Iraola stated in a press conference that Gomez will be sidelined for approximately one month, making it 'impossible' for him to be available for the start of the Premier League season. The injury is described as not massive but significant enough to rule him out of early league fixtures. This adds to Liverpool's injury concerns ahead of the new campaign.
