Liverpool's Gomez ruled out of Champions League final with ankle injury.

Liverpool have suffered another injury blow after defender Joe Gomez was ruled out of this month's Champions League final having undergone surgery on an ankle injury.

It also puts his World Cup participation in doubt as the 20-year-old looked a certain inclusion in the England squad before sustaining the problem in a friendly against Holland in March.

Gomez admitted he probably came back too early from that and he aggravated it in recent matches against West Brom and Stoke, leading to the club deciding on surgery, Press Association Sport understands.
