Liverpool fans have welcomed Joe Gomez’s imminent return.

Joe Gomez of Liverpool looks on from the bench during a pre-season friendly match between Tranmere Rovers and Liverpool at Prenton Park on July 12, 2017 in Birkenhead, England.

Liverpool fans have welcomed reports defender Joe Gomez is closing in on his comeback.

Gomez has played only once since January after struggling with injuries.

The Telegraph report Gomez could be fit to face West Brom at the weekend and will certainly be available for the Roma fixture next week.

Liverpool fans have reacted positively to the reports, with Gomez’ return ideally timed ahead of the Champions League semi-finals.

Joe Gomez of Liverpool takes a throw in during the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool at Wembley Stadium on October 22, 2017 in London, England.

Liverpool saw defender Dejan Lovren leave the game early against Bournemouth at the weekend with an apparent hamstring injury.

The Telegraph reported this was just a precaution and the injury is not serious, but this heightens the importance of Gomez’s return.

Ideally he would be able to feature against West Brom at the weekend and get some match practice in, in case he is needed to be thrown straight in against Roma.
