When asked where Gomez s head was after being left out against Ipswich, Slot told reporters: It has been in the right place for three weeks. He has worked really hard since he came back.
He didn’t play a lot in the Euros and when he came back in the first sessions he couldn’t train the whole session so we had to manage his load and that was also a bit a reason why he wasn’t in the team on Saturday.
But this week he had a good week in terms of load and how much he could do with the team.
He is one of the players that I see new things from and learn things what I see from him, also combined with other players. It has been a good week for him and us until now.
