Liverpool could be without Joe Gomez against Wolves as surgery fears linger

Liverpool's Joe Gomez is treated for an injury before leaving the game during the Emirates FA Cup fourth round match at Home Park, Plymouth. Picture date: Sunday February 9, 2025. Liverpool will be without three players for Sunday's visit from Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield. On the back of Wednesday night's 2-2 draw with Everton in the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, the Reds welcome relegation-threatened Wolves without Joe Gomez, Tyler Morton or Curtis Jones.

Kalvin Phillips of Manchester City poses for a portrait during the Manchester City FC Portraits Session at Manchester City Football Academy on August 14, 2024 in Manchester, England. Matheus Nunes and Kalvin Phillips have been linked with moves away from Manchester United, and the defending champions would be willing to sell them in 2025.

Spalletti: ‘Italy could not have done more,’ takes blame off Pellegrini

Luciano Spalletti concedes the red card ‘threw everything out the window’ in Italy’s 2-2 draw with Belgium, but takes some of the blame off Lorenzo Pellegrini for that incident. ‘We could not have done more.’ They had got off to the ideal start at the Stadio Olimpico when Andrea Cambiaso put the ball in the net within 61 seconds, followed soon after by Mateo Retegui’s tap-in from another save on Cambiaso.
