Huddersfield Town’s manager David Wagner may utilise his Liverpool connections to take Joe Gomez on loan when the transfer window reopens in January.
The Liverpool defender has endured a torrid time with injury since Jürgen Klopp arrived at Anfield, rupturing an anterior cruciate ligament on England Under-21 duty just days after the new manager took charge and then suffering an achilles problem in pre-season.
Gomez, who made an impressive start to his Anfield career under Brendan Rodgers and is highly regarded by Klopp, returned to full training last week. The 19-year-old is still some way from match fitness, however, and Wagner‚ best man at Klopp’s wedding‚ is interested in offering the former Charlton Athletic player much-needed game time from January.
Huddersfield have made a fine start to the Championship season but missed the chance to draw level on points with Newcastle United on Wednesday when they suffered a 3-1 defeat at Preston North End.
