Beijing time on November 15th, Liverpool defender Gomez suffered a serious knee injury while training with the England national team, a high probability of reimbursement this season. The British "Daily Mail" reported that: FIFA will compensate Liverpool 2 million pounds as compensation for Gomez's injury in the national team. The compensation stems from FIFA's protection plan for the club.
This plan is an insurance plan. When a club-owned player is injured during the national team’s A-level matches, friendly matches and training sessions during the contract period, the club can directly request compensation from FIFA through the plan, which is intended to protect the club The legitimate rights and interests of the club, which also makes the club more willing to let players go to the national team.
The compensation fee of this plan is calculated according to a certain ratio. The maximum coverage is £6.75 million, covering 365 days, and the maximum daily subsidy is £18,430. Gomez's weekly salary is 80,000 pounds and is expected to be out for about 7 months. This compensation will continue until Gomez resumes first-team training. According to the proportion, Gomez can apply for a compensation of 2 million pounds, which is almost enough for Liverpool to pay Gomez's salary.
For Liverpool coach Klopp, even if he gets a compensation of 2 million, he is still not happy, because Liverpool is too short of everyone in the central defender position. Defensive core Van Dyke continued to miss out, and now Gomez has been reimbursed for the season, leaving only Matip a true central defender. Liverpool are afraid to send Phillips, the 23-year-old central defender, to partner Mattip in the next game. Before the winter transfer window opens, Liverpool need to complete 11 games with only one decent central defender.
