Who foots the bill?Last season Liverpool wereforced to do without Joe Gomez for nearly a full campaign after he picked up a knee injury in a training injury while with the England camp. That injury, added to the loss of Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip, threw Liverpool off course in their bid to retain the Premier League crown that they won in 2020.Since 2012 clubs across the world whose players have been called up to represent their nation have been covered by FIFA Club Protection, which covers clubs, to a point, in the event that their players suffer injury while away with their country.Clubs can claim compensation for wages should a player get injured, although there is an initial 28-day excess period before any monies can be recouped.After that the protection covers clubs for £127,300 per week, the maximum time being able to be claimed for being one year and the maximum amount that can be claimed for one player being £6.7m.For Liverpool, they received around £2m in compensation for Gomez's injury with England last year.READ THE FULL STORY HERE.Read MoreRelated ArticlesRead MoreRelated Articles
