Raheem Sterling and Gomez had been involved in a training ground incident earlier in the week and reportedly had to be pulled apart. The incident led to the Manchester City star sitting out of the win against Montenegro and he was spotted in the stands during the game.

Virgil van Dijk has now come out in defence of his club teammate, stating that it was disappointing to see what happened at Wembley. The Liverpool defender was quoted by Sky Sports News saying:

England face Kosovo on Sunday but will be without the services of Gomez. The young Liverpool defender reportedly picked up an injury in training after a tackle from Kieran Trippier. Gomez’s Liverpool teammate, Jordan Henderson, will also miss the game with a viral infection.
