Liverpool have received a big injury boost regarding Curtis Jones, while a fresh update has emerged over the Reds’ reported pursuit of manager Ruben Amorim.
Curtis Jones back in training
Liverpool’s injury problems have eased of late and they have again been boosted by the news that Jones has returned to full training, as confirmed by Jurgen Klopp:
“Curtis is [in] full training. He trained already with us on Saturday, but had then extra, because the [matchday] minus one [session] does not have the intensity Curtis needed.
“He was with us, then he had an extra shift. He will be in full training. What does that mean exactly for the game? Let me have a look at that. Nobody else [will be back on Thursday]. The others, slowly but surely, but not yet.”
The 23-year-old hasn’t featured since the 4-1 win away to Brentford back in February, but is now in contention to face Sheffield United on Thursday night.
Will he be able to break up the current midfield trio of Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, though?
