Back in training
Gomez (undisclosed) is back in training and should be an option for Saturday's game against Crystal Palace.
Analysis: Gomez didn't play against Everton in the Merseyside Derby this past weekend, but the veteran defender should be back in the mix to play against the Eagles. However, even if he gets the green light, Gomez will remain as a backup alternative behind the starting center-back pairing of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.
Ruled out for Everton derby
Gomez (undisclosed) is ruled out of Sunday's Merseyside derby against Everton, according to coach Arne Slot. "No. [he is not fit for Sunday]."
Analysis: Gomez had flagged some discomfort during Tuesday's Champions League loss to PSG after coming off the bench, choosing to be substituted rather than risk aggravating the issue. His absence for the derby is a limited blow given his rotational role this season, with Jeremie Frimpong the established starter at right-back. The club will monitor his condition over the coming days before setting any kind of return timeline.
