Liverpool defender Joe Gomez will miss the start of the season after suffering a fresh injury setback, Press Association Sport understands.

The 19-year-old had been working his way back to fitness from a knee injury sustained in October on international duty with the England Under-21 team that ended his 2015-16 campaign.

However, it is understood he has now picked up an Achilles problem that is being assessed by Liverpool in terms of its severity but has definitely ruled him out of their Premier League opener at Arsenal on August 14.
