NewsJoe Gomez fitness update

The No.2 has been sidelined since sustaining an injury during the early stages of the Emirates FA Cup tie at Plymouth Argyle on February 9.

Gomez has yet to resume training with his teammates but Slot explained today that he is on course to be in contention for selection before 2024-25 concludes.

“If his recovery goes well, he would be able to [play] maybe in the last one or two games of the season,” the head coach said of the defender.

“But he is still not training with us yet. But he is coming closer and closer to train with the team.

“But then he’s been out for a long time. We were just discussing Conor Bradley – it took him a while before he could even come in or have a long start.

“I think he [Gomez] will be available in the last one, two or three games if his recovery goes the way as planned.”
