New Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has suffered his first setback with teenage defender Joe Gomez reportedly to miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.

The 18-year-old, who was signed from second division Charlton in June, was forced from the pitch after hurting his right knee in the 80th minute of England Under-21s' 3-0 victory against Kazakhstan on Tuesday.

Press Association Sport reported that Liverpool will confirm on Thursday the teenage left-back's season is over.

Klopp takes charge of his first Liverpool match at Tottenham on Saturday.
