Jurgen Klopp has urged Joe Gomez to keep his morale high and challenged the defender to seize his next opportunity in the Liverpool team.
Gomez hasn't started since the penalty shoot-out win over Leicester in the Carabao Cup before Christmas and has played just 15 minutes since that quarter-final triumph at Anfield.
The arrival of Ibrahima Konate in the summer has made competition for places at centre-back tougher for the England international, who missed nine months of action between November 2020 and August 2021 with a serious knee injury.
