Gibbs: Tottenham draw Liverpool's 'story of the season' (2:17)

Kieran Gibbs explains what's going wrong at Liverpool this season following their late draw vs. Tottenham in the Premier League. (2:17)

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez was absent from the team's open training session ahead of their Champions League round-of-16 second-leg tie at home to Galatasaray.

Sunday's 1-1 Premier League draw with Tottenham was the third match in succession the 28-year-old had played 90 minutes, the first time he had done so since January 2024.

Ibrahima Konaté, who had a dreadful time in last week's 1-0 defeat in Istanbul, could replace him at centre-back.

Head coach Arne Slot would then have to decide whether to continue with midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai on the right of defence or drop back Jeremie Frimpong, who played as a winger against Spurs.

Away from the main squad, £125 million ($166.9m) British record signing Alexander Isak -- who has been out since December with a broken leg -- was running outside as he steps up his rehabilitation ahead of a probable return after the international break later this month.
