After Liverpool's great victory, the big problem that Arne Slot has for the next Premier League game

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez was forced off the pitch during the Reds' resounding victory over West Ham on Sunday, and is now a doubt for the team's upcoming matches.

The defender felt a strain in his thigh and had to be substituted in the first half. Manager Arne Slot confirmed the severity of the problem and lamented the player's absence. "Joe Gomez suffered a hamstring tendon injury during a sprint. Unfortunately, he will be out for a while. We don't have an exact timeline for his return yet, but we know it will be a significant period," said the coach.

Gomez's injury is a major blow for Liverpool, who are already dealing with several absences in their squad. The defender was an absolute starter and his absence leaves a gap in the Reds' defense. Manager Arne Slot will have to find a new formation for the upcoming games and deal with the absence of one of his key players.

The injury to Gomez raises some important questions:

• What is the impact of the injury on Liverpool's defense? The absence of Gomez weakens Liverpool's defense, which was already facing some issues. Manager Arne Slot will have to find a new central defensive pairing to replace the Englishman.
• Who will be Gomez's replacement? Jarell Quansah, a young prospect from the academy, was chosen to replace Gomez in the match against West Ham. However, the manager may opt for other alternatives, such as using a midfielder in an improvised defensive role.
• What is Gomez's recovery time? Hamstring tendon injuries are usually more serious and require a long recovery period. Gomez's absence could be a problem for Liverpool for several weeks or even months.

Joe Gomez's injury is a tough blow for Liverpool, who will have to deal with the absence of one of their key players in the coming weeks. Arne Slot's team will have to adapt to the new situation and find ways to maintain their strong performance in the Premier League.
