Liverpool full-back Joe Gomez says teammate Danny Ings has proved to be somewhat of an inspiration as the pair continue their recovery from season-ending knee injuries.

Both players suffered torn anterior cruciate ligaments last month and have commenced the long and arduous rehabilitation process in tandem.

"Having Danny there for support has really helped to keep me going. I was gutted for him when I found out he had also done his ACL. He was flying, scoring goals for Liverpool and getting his chance with England," Gomez told the Liverpool Echo.

"It's been a reminder for both of us that everyone gets setbacks in football, it's not all plain sailing.

"We've been there for each other, spurring each other on. It's been a big bonus having Danny for company. We've literally been side by side in everything. It's going to be a long road but we're staying positive."
