The defender will miss the first Merseyside derby at Hill Dickinson Stadium after being withdrawn versus Paris Saint-Germain in midweek. <\/p>\n
Gomez was introduced at the beginning of the second half of that Champions League match at Anfield but came off in the 67th minute, citing discomfort. <\/p>\n
Asked on Friday whether the No.2 is available to play against the Toffees, Arne Slot replied: “No.”<\/p>\n
The Reds head coach then offered an update on the condition of Jayden Danns. <\/p>\n
The 20-year-old last appeared for the club’s U21s side at Manchester City last month, when he was forced off after 29 minutes.<\/p>\n
“The good thing for him is that he’s been out for such a long time and he’s now getting back with the U21s, getting some playing time,” said Slot. <\/p>\n
“But I think there’s still a lot of steps to be made if you’ve not even played 90 minutes (for) the U21s, let alone then play a Premier League game. <\/p>\n
“But the first thing that comes to my mind is that he’s worked so hard \u2013 I know this because I’ve seen him around over here a lot \u2013 to be where he is now and he’s also been so unlucky to be out for such a long time. <\/p>\n
“I really like him to be back but the reality is that he’s not on the bench for us this weekend.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
