The urgency to bolster our midfield has been evident since the conclusion of the last season, when Liverpool’s performance left much to be desired. Failing to secure any titles and missing out on the upcoming Champions League edition was a tough blow. The departure of key players like James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Naby Keita, who were once instrumental in the club’s recent successes, further underscored the need for reinforcements.

Adding to these concerns are injuries, which have become an increasing challenge. Curtis Jones, a promising talent, has been on Jürgen Klopp’s radar. Despite missing the match against Bournemouth due to a sprained ankle sustained in training, hopes were high that he would recover in time to face Newcastle next weekend. However, The Athletic reports that Jones was notably absent from Tuesday’s training session, raising further questions about his availability. This has potentially heightened the urgency for Klopp to address the midfield situation even more promptly.

When might Jones return and what games will he miss?

Although Liverpool has not yet issued an official statement regarding Curtis Jones’ injury, his absence from today’s training session raises concerns that the 22-year-old midfielder’s condition might be more serious than initially anticipated. The lack of his presence during training could potentially suggest a need for further evaluation or a longer recovery period. Fans and followers of the club will likely be eagerly awaiting updates from reliable sources to gain a clearer understanding of the extent of Jones’ injury and the potential impact on his availability for upcoming matches.
