The Lille OSC midfielder, a mainstay under Paulo Fonseca and now new manager Bruno Genesio, broke into the England set-up this year, earning his first caps for the Three Lions under interim manager Lee Carsley. He has been part of a LOSC side that currently sit fourth in Ligue 1, one point away from third-placed Olympique de Marseille, whilst the Ligue 1 side have also enjoyed a strong start to their UEFA Champions League campaign, notably beating Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
L’Équipe had reported that the England international had suffered a calf injury, and whilst Gomes did not confirm the nature of the injury, he did nonetheless confirm the existence of an injury in a post on X (formerly Twitter). In fact, the former Manchester United stated that he has been dealing with the injury for “several months.”
