Joe Gomez says his return to England’s squad for the first time in three and a half years has closed the chapter on a difficult period of his career which had a “psychological toll”.
The Liverpool defender is back on the international scene amid a fine season, making the cut in Gareth Southgate’s final squad selection before he names his 23-man pool for Euro 2024.
It was during a session while away with England in November 2020 when Gomez injured the tendons in his knee, leading to surgery and an eight-month spell on the sidelines that became a near-four year absence from Southgate’s squad.
