Injured Liverpool defender sends cryptic message after Watford loss

Joe Gomez has taken to Twitter to post a cryptic message after Liverpool suffered a 3-0 defeat by Watford on Sunday afternoon.

The Reds defender is currently sidelined with a serious knee injury which the full-back suffered in first-team training in October.

Gomez hasn’t played a minute of competitive action under Jurgen Klopp after the England Under-21 international was signed by his predecessor, Brendan Rodgers, from Charlton Athletic in the summer.

And the Liverpool defender had a message for his 132,000 Twitter followers after the Merseyside outfit’s humiliating 3-0 defeat by the Hornets at Vicarage Road.

Grind & pray 🙏🏽

Gomez hasn’t featured for the Reds since a 1-1 draw with Sion in the Europa League group-stage on 1 October.

Liverpool are in ninth place and five points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur ahead of their clash against leaders Leicester City at Anfield on 26 December.
