Liverpool's Joe Gomez injures muscle, misses training ahead of Wrexham match

Summary

Liverpool faces a potential setback as Joe Gomez sustains a muscle injury, leaving him unable to train ahead of their upcoming match against Wrexham on July 29. The injury occurred just 10 minutes into a previous match against Sunderland. Manager Andoni Iraola expressed disappointment over Gomez's condition, noting the impact on an already thin defensive lineup. However, Liverpool received encouraging news with the return of Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak, and Ryan Gravenberch to training, which could bolster the squad's attacking options. Wataru Endo and Giovanni Leoni remain sidelined but Endo is close to returning.
