Liverpool boss Klopp puts Gomez on notice

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is considering Joe Gomez for left-back against Burnley on Boxing Day.

Senior left-backs Andrew Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas are now both out injured.

Klopp said: "We will see. Can Joey play all the games coming up now until – I don't know when – Robbo will be back? Kosti is now definitely out for a while, so I don't know, we have to see. I didn't have time now to think it through, but somebody will play the position I am pretty sure.

"It is for us obviously really tough, it's really tough. You have injuries sometimes and we accept all of them, but a broken collarbone is really bad because it just takes long. Same what Robbo had: a different injury but that takes long as well, how we all know.

"We all know we need luck in these moments to get through and now we will have Joey there and just have to make sure we put him in cotton wool and we have to make sure he is always ready for the games."
