Liverpool failed to give an indication as to when Gomez could return to training which left a fair bit of confusion as to when he would be back.
Now, the Liverpool manager has revealed Gomez's return timeframe.
When asked about Gomez in his press conference today, Klopp explained that he could return within the next four to six weeks.
Quoted again by the Mirror, Gomez admitted that it is a hard pill to swallow but it's just part of football.

“Obviously being out for longer than we'd first hoped for is hard to swallow but it's part and parcel of the industry,” Gomez explained.
