Joe Gomez has been injured while on national duty.

The player has been playing non-stop for the last few months thanks to the pause in play due to the lockdown and now fatigue has resulted in his knees getting injured.

England national coach Gareth Southgate had a long chat with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp about the situation the players are coming under in the current season.

“I had a long chat with Jurgen last night, we’re all worried about player welfare. To lose a player in the way that we did yesterday for us and Liverpool, but most importantly for the boy, was really tragic,” Southgate told ITV Sport.

“There needs to be a look at the calendar. We’re fortunate we’ve got the six subs [against the Republic of Ireland] and five in the Nations League, we’ve got to try and lessen the load as much as we can for the players.

“Unfortunately the injury was so unique in how it happened that we know it was just a consequence of the number of games.

“Wherever he had been there’s a chance that would have happened. We’re on the same page, we think the welfare of the players is critical.”
