Gomez blow for Liverpool's Bayern Champions League tie

Jurgen Klopp does not expect Joe Gomez to be fit in time for the first leg of Liverpool's Champion League last-16 tie with Bayern Munich.

England centre-back Gomez had forged an impressive partnership with Virgil van Dijk before sustaining a fractured leg in the Reds' 3-1 win over Burnley on December 5.

"[There is] no return date for Joe," Klopp said.

"No, I don't think [he will face Bayern], no. Yes, after that, any time. We will see."

There was better news on Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee), who has missed Liverpool's last two matches.

"[Trent is] really good. I hope he is in full training next week. That's very good then, but not for now," Klopp added.
