The PA news agency understands Gomez was hurt when clashing knees in an accidental collision with Kieran Trippier. His Liverpool team-mate Henderson missed the 7-0 home win over Montenegro after arriving in the England camp with a viral infection and has not fully recovered. A statement from the FA said: "Jordan Henderson and Joe Gomez will miss England's final UEFA EU- RO 2020 qualifier in Kosovo on Sunday. "Henderson arrived in camp with a viral infection that has not fully cleared. Meanwhile, his Liverpool team-mate Gomez sustained a knock in training on Friday and has not recovered sufficiently enough to travel. "The pair now return to their club meaning the Three Lions will head to Pristina on Saturday with a 23-man squad." England sealed their qualification for next sum- mer's tournament against Montenegro on Thursday night. However, England's 1,000th international was over- shadowed by the boos that greeted Gomez when he came on as a second-half substitute. Gomez was left with a scratch on his face following a confrontation with Raheem Sterling this week at St George's Park. The Manchester City star was subse- quently dropped from the squad to face Montenegro.

The Italy under-21 interna- tional moved to Goodison Park in a £27m transfer in the sum- mer, but Kean's father Jean be- lieves the 19-year-old is unhap- py on Merseyside and should return to Serie A as soon as possible. The striker has struggled to feature under Everton boss Marco Silva, making just nine appearances and failing to score a single goal for the Tof- fees. Speaking to Centro Suo- no Sport, Kean's father said: "Sending my son to England was a mistake, because he's still too young, he's not feeling good at Everton, I didn't like this transfer. "I hope he can come back to Italy as soon as possible, I hope he goes to Rome, but the im- portant thing is that he comes back here." Jean also claims Juventus still owe him two tractors from a deal they made with him when they signed his son as a 14-year-old. "The story of the tractors? I believe in God and I believe in promises," he said. "'But if their word was a lie, I can't trust them anymore. They promised me two tractors and they still haven't been given to me."
