Liverpool injury news: Joe Gomez to miss start of Premier League season, but will it affect summer transfer plans?

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez is expected to miss the start of the Premier League season after sustaining a muscle injury in a pre-season friendly against Sunderland. Head coach Andoni Iraola said Gomez is likely to be out for several weeks, including the opener against Newcastle, but the injury is not expected to alter Liverpool’s transfer plans. The club remains focused on signing a wide forward, with PSG’s Bradley Barcola identified as a target, despite limited senior centre-back options.
