The 19-year-old is building his match fitness after being out of action since October 2015 with a serious knee injury.
He played for another 45 minutes in tonight’s under-23 fixture against Arsenal. Gomez was withdrawn at half-time and replaced by Corey Whelan in what was reportedly a planned change.
With Dejan Lovren currently carrying an injury, Gomez could be named in the squad for the trip to the Riverside Stadium.
