Joe Gomez Injury: Will be back soon

Gomez (Achilles) is dealing with a minor injury but will be back very soon, coach Arne Slot said in a press conference. "Unfortunately he has a minor injury at the moment but he will be back with the team very soon."

Gomez is still dealing with a minor injury but he will be back with the team very soon. The defender will miss the Community Shield on Sunday but could be available for the season opener against Bournemouth next Friday if everything goes as planned. That said, if he has to miss the opening game, his absence would not impact the starting XI since he is the third choice center back behind Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.
