Joe Gomez Injury: Won't play Wednesday

Gomez (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's match against Qarabag, according to manager Arne Slot. "But I can confirm that he is not available for tomorrow evening. I expect him back in a relatively short time."

Gomez was off the field early last contest due to an injury and will now miss some midweek play, with his ankle injury too much to play through. However, the defender is not expected to miss too much time, likely returning in the next week or so. However, with Ibrahima Konate (personal) also out, the club is forced into a tough spot with only one central defender fit, likely forcing Wataru Endoto to start in the defense alongside Virgil van Dijk.
