"Joey deserves it, absolutely," Jurgen Klopp said about Joe Gomez receiving his first England call-up since October 2020.
"What a season he played so far, he is absolutely exceptional.
"I said a lot of times, without the kids we are not where we are – and without Joey we would be definitely not where we are in the moment.
"He played so many different positions. Really happy for him and I saw on his face he was very happy about it as well.
"Good news. Now let's play the game and he can go there and then he hopefully comes back healthy and he can play the rest of the season."
This season, Gomez has played in each defensive position, and even in midfield, delivering reliable performances regularly for Liverpool.
Now, he is back with the Three Lions for the first time since sustaining that injury in England training that ruled him out for almost a year.
