'I'm not telling Southgate who he should pick': Klopp explains why Gomez deserves England recall

Joe Gomez has impressed in the past few months at Liverpool across several positions. First, the centre-back covered for Trent at right-back, then was moved to left-back and has recently featured in the no. 6 role.

Jurgen Klopp says that the 26-year-old deserves an England recall.

"I am not standing here telling Gareth [Southgate] who he should pick but you can get one player and have four positions covered. Wonderful," the Liverpool head coach said, as quoted by the Daily Mail.

"If you play football at this level, there is (big) difference between centre-half, full-back, right, left, to the No 6 – and he is capable of that transition in his mind.

"He is one of those stories. What a wonderful player he is and I am so happy he can show that again.

"In midfield, the game is coming from all angles. Everything changes and he has dealt with it so well, it’s crazy. Really good and super-important."

Gomez has eleven England caps. The last time he featured for the Three Lions happened in October 2020.
