Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has seen his name thrust into the Liverpool spotlight in his homeland, while Arne Slot discussed Joe Gomez‘s chances for minutes.

A hopeful Joe Gomez selection hint vs. West Ham

You could be forgiven for thinking Gomez is not part of Liverpool’s squad any , such is the lack of action he is seeing this season – 238 minutes, to be exact.

An issue with his knee has not helped matters of late, but Slot told reporters on Thursday that “starting a game is definitely a possibility.”

He said: “(Gomez is) close (to minutes), he could have been involved yesterday (vs. PSV) in terms of minutes. But when we are 2-1 down or 3-1 down, I tend to make offensive substitutes.

“Him starting a game is definitely a possibility, but Konate didn’t train two days before the (PSV) game, he was a bit of a liability two days before.

“And then if you don’t have that many defenders to start with, two players that might not be able to play the whole 90 is kind of a risk as well.

“So I decided to keep him (in reserve) if Ibou was injured and not to have to make two substitutions, because then I probably would have ended up with one or two (fit) defenders.”

Konate has shown little to retain his place but it may be that Gomez is better off at right-back so we do not have to see a midfielder in that position, but is that hopeful thinking?
