The England star suffered the break in Liverpool’s 3-1 win at Burnley on December 5 and has since been in rehabilitation.
However, Gomez has been out for longer than the initial estimate of six weeks and Reds boss Jurgen Klopp acknowledged last week that he may require surgery.
And the club have now taken the decision to go ahead with a procedure, this time placing no timescale on a return. Liverpool believe Gomez will play again this season, though.
A statement detailing the news said the call had been made following further diagnosis and should lead to a more “complete” recovery.
