Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has no plans to loan out Joe Gomez.
The 19-year-old defender has been linked with a temporary move to Championship outfit Huddersfield Town in January but Klopp doesn't believe a spell away from the Reds would benefit him.
Asked if Gomez would compete for a first-team spot in the new year or head out on loan, Klopp said: “No to the second question about a loan.
“For us, I don't think so. We had a very good talk. What I think about Joe Gomez is he is an unbelievable talent, which everybody knew before.
“It's a long injury and if we send him on loan, with his quality, a team will play him every game. That is not what he needs in the moment. Because he was a long time injured he needs us to judge: 'now play, now stop, rest, work on this, do this, do a little bit on this'."
