Joe Gomez Injury Update: Liverpool defender Joe Gomez has departed the club's pre-season tour of Asia to address an Achilles issue. He is returning to Merseyside for treatment at the AXA Training Centre. ### Background Gomez was with the Liverpool squad for part of the week during their tour but experienced some Achilles problems. As a result, the decision was made to have him assessed and work on his recovery in England rather than remain with the team in Asia. This decision was made to ensure he returns to the team under more ideal circumstances. ### Team Reaction Liverpool manager Arne Slot mentioned that Gomez's departure was a precautionary measure to ensure he receives proper treatment. Slot expressed hope that Gomez will return to the team soon, indicating the injury is minor and not expected to be a long-term concern. ### Impact on Pre-Season While Gomez's departure from the tour might affect the team's defensive preparations, Liverpool is well-equipped to manage his absence. The club has a strong defensive lineup, and this minor setback is not expected to significantly impact their pre-season preparations. ### Return to Training Gomez is expected to integrate back into the team once he has fully recovered from his injury. His return will be important for the team as they prepare for the upcoming season. Despite the current setback, the anticipation is for a speedy recovery, allowing Gomez to contribute effectively as soon as possible.
