Jurgen Klopp plans to use Joe Gomez at centre-back and right-back for Liverpool this season.

With the Dejan Lovren returning late from the World Cup, and Joel Matip suffering an injury this week, Klopp is stretched at the centre-back position.

Gomez been primarily used as a right-back under Klopp, although he has expressed a desire to play in the middle. And he might just get his wish this season.

"I know Joe can play both, that's how it is," said Klopp.

"In the moment we have a young winger who can play full-back: Rafa Camacho. Obviously he enjoys the offensive part of the job more than the defensive part but it's quite good.

"Clyney is here, so Joe can now get minutes at centre-half. He did really well; all his strength, speed, power and passing is really good in this position. I like it a lot.

"But it's absolutely possible he'll play the next game for example at full-back. He can do that, we don't have to make it more complicated than it is. We don't know what happens until the start [of the season]; we don't know if Joel is back until then, we don't know exactly how Dejan is coming back. So that Joe can play both positions is for sure a big benefit for us."
