We’ve all been delighted with the performances of Joe Gomez at left-back but we’re desperate to see a recognised senior option in the position, something Kostas Tsimikas can certainly call himself.
Speaking with the press before the Carabao Cup semi-final, Pep Lijnders said: “Kostas is now four weeks after surgery, so he needs probably two more weeks because we need to make sure that the bone is strong and the bone is healed before he goes into first-team training.”

With positive news also being delivered for Andy Robertson, as much as we’re happy to have the Greek Scouser back – he will no doubt be disheartened that he’s missed a rare chance for extra game time.
Add onto the fact it was a partial clash with Jurgen Klopp on the sideline against Arsenal that caused this shoulder problem in the first case, it’s been a painfully unfortunate time for the full-back.
