Liverpool and England defender Joe Gomez says that he is "gutted" to miss the Champions League final and World Cup due to an ankle operation.

Defender Joe Gomez has acknowledged that he is "gutted" to have been ruled out of both the Champions League final and the World Cup.

Since the end of March, Gomez has suffered problems with his ankle after sustaining an injury while representing England against the Netherlands in a friendly.

After a month on the sidelines, the youngster returned to feature in two Premier League matches but after missing the last three games, Gomez has undergone surgery and will miss the showpiece events for club and country.

On Instagram, the 20-year-old said: "Gutted to confirm that my season for both club and country is over having undergone successful ankle surgery.

"Been a tough few weeks trying everything possible to be available on the pitch to help the team. I'm going to do all I can to get back and be in the best possible shape for pre season. The focus now is to support the team in the two biggest games of the season!

"Thank you for all the support over the course of the season."

Gomez ends the campaign having made 30 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions.
