Liverpool have confirmed defender Joe Gomez will miss the start of the season with a muscle injury.
The 29-year-old suffered the injury in Liverpool's 4-2 friendly victory over Sunderland in Nashville on Sunday, where he was substituted in just the eighth minute of the contest.
New Reds boss Andoni Iraola confirmed Gomez will face a spell on the sidelines but does not yet know for how long.
Speaking at a press conference in Chicago on Thursday morning, he said: "Joe has a muscle injury. I think it was quite clear since he complained straight away so it will depend how he evolves, but he will be some weeks off.
