As Liverpool prepare for a busy September, starting with Ipswich Town on Friday, the Reds have received a significant injury boost regarding Joe Gomez. Should Joe Gomez go to right-back when he returns?



Jeremie Frimpong’s struggles at right-back have been well-documented, and it feels like a no-brainer to replace him with Gomez once the latter is fully fit again. Granted, right-back isn’t his strongest role, but he can bring physicality and solidity to the position, both of which Frimpong is failing to provide this season.

Bradley should still be seen as Liverpool’s first-choice right-back option, assuming he rids himself of injury problems, but for now, Gomez feels like the sensible choice. As for Gomez, the injuries will always hamper him, as they have throughout his career, but having him back is great news and will only aid Liverpool’s squad depth.
