Joe Gomez: We'll be mentally ready and hungrier than ever

Liverpool will require a determined and prepared mindset to overcome the physical demands of the new season, explained Joe Gomez.

The 2020-21 Premier League campaign is set to kick off on September 12, around four weeks later than usual, with the Reds to begin their title defence at home to Leeds United.

The increased intensity anticipated in a narrowed schedule will be a challenge, according to Gomez, but one that can be handled mentally as much as physically.

“Obviously it was a short break and then we had the restart and then the period when we switched off for a couple of weeks and that was that,” the defender told Liverpoolfc.
