The injury looks be to his ankle and will come as a massive blow to Jurgen Klopp ahead of the heavily congested festive schedule.

Klopp said: "Joe is injured and probably not only a little bit

"We have to see, we don’t know in the moment. We sent him home."

Gomez has been revelation for the Reds this season.

He has been instrumental in the line-up with Virgil Van Dijk -and has contributed significantly to their nine clean sheets this term.

Liverpool are hoping for a win against Burnley to keep the pressure on Man City.

Guardiola's men won 2-1 against Watford last night to stretch the gap to five.

And the Reds have been on great league form recently - wining four of their last five matches.

Their last win came against bitter rivals Everton on Sunday - where Klopp was fined for his celebrations.
