CURTIS JONES NEWS

Reportedly out multiple weeks Jones will miss anywhere from two-to-four weeks because of a calf injury, reports The Athletic.

Impact Jones was never in line to start the opener, but it's another injury that will prevent him from getting more time. He figures to see more time this season because of the five-sub rule, but given the names above him in the team sheet, minutes still aren't guaranteed, especially if he's dealing with injuries.

Dealing with minor issue Jones missed Sunday's friendly against Strasbourg after feeling a minor issue in his muscle, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "We had no time; he felt it today and he wanted to p...

Impact This seems like a possible hamstring or groin tweak, which could either be no absence or a four-week absence, depending on what scans show. For now, it appears to be minor and he could be an option for Saturday's opener, though his role in the side remains unclear going into the new season.

AUGUST 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unused over final two matches Jones finished with 12 league starts across league and UCL play, totaling one goal and three assists from 27 shots and 15 chances created in 19 appearances.

Impact Jones got a couple late-season starts and seemed to have a job over Harvey Elliott in the midfield, though neither saw much time in the second half of the season. It's a wonder how the midfield will play out because if those two see similar time next season, it may become a detriment to their growth, as both appear ready for bigger roles.

Gets 62 minutes in win Jones had two shots (one on target) and two fouls drawn in Tuesday's 2-1 win against Aston Villa.

Impact Jones received his first league start Tuesday since April 2 due to the heavy influx of matches for Liverpool. He'll likely receive another start in the final week with the minutes piling up for the Reds and maybe most relevant is that he took corners in his prior start when Joe Gomez was in the starting XI instead of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Available after illness Jones is available for Tuesday's match against Villarreal after dealing with a stomach bug last week.

Impact Jones stayed on the bench over the weekend and isn't expected to have much of a role the rest of the way. He hasn't played in his last six bench appearances and given the importance of Liverpool's remaining fixtures, there's a chance he doesn't make another appearance this season.

Unavailable versus Newcastle Jones (illness) did not make Liverpool's match-day squad list to face Newcastle Saturday.

Impact Jones will miss the second straight game due to a stomach bug and will look to recover ahead of the next match, but he does not have much of a role even when healthy.

APRIL 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with stomach issues Jones missed the midweek match with an illness and didn't return to training ahead of Saturday's trip to Newcastle.

Impact Jones hasn't appeared off the bench in the last five matches, so his absence doesn't mean much for the squad. He likely had bigger ideas this season, but deep on the depth chart in addition to an injury, he's managed just eight starts from 13 appearances this season, fewer than last campaign.

Gets one minute against Hammers Jones played the final minute of Saturday's 1-0 win against West Ham after dealing with a thigh issue beforehand.

Impact Jones was healthy enough to be an option off the bench Saturday, which is a good sign for his status going forward. When fully fit, he's started the last four matches in which he's been available and could be in the XI Tuesday against Inter Milan.

In doubt versus West Ham United Jones (thigh) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with West Ham United after manager Jurgen Klopp told reporters, "Curtis is not bad but if it is good enough to go again tomorro...

Impact Jones was just one game back from a three-game stint on the sidelines due to an undisclosed injury, so it's not clear if his thigh problem is related. When fit, the midfielder has started eight of his 12 appearances and should be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI.

Subbed off with thigh issue Jones was subbed off at halftime of Wednesday's FA Cup match against Norwich City because of a thigh issue, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "I don't think it's a real injury, bu...

Impact This doesn't sound like a major worry for Jones, but he's already a player who struggles to go full 90s in Liverpool's deep midfield. This issue likely means he won't start Saturday against West Ham with Harvey Elliott maybe taking a spot in the XI, similar to the League Cup final.

MARCH 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Leeds Jones (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Leeds.

Impact Jones is back in the squad Wednesday and immediately back in the XI after missing the prior three contests. He had a few starts prior to injury and gets the call over Harvey Elliott against Leeds, though a full 90 seems unlikely with Liverpool at full strength in their midfield.

Back in squad Tuesday Jones (eye) is on the bench for Tuesday's match against Leicester City.

Impact Jones recently returned to training and he's finally able to play again after the freak eye injury suffered almost two months ago. He'll hope to get back his fitness and contend for starts going forward, having started in four of the last five matches in which he was available.

Returns to training pitch Jones (eye) was back on the training pitch Friday and could be an option versus Leicester City on Tuesday.

Pictured in training Jones (eye) was pictured in training Tuesday ahead of Thursday's match against Newcastle.

Impact Jones probably isn't fit enough to start Thursday, but it's good to see him on the pitch again having missed about a month because of an eye injury. Assuming he's been given the go, once he gets back his fitness, he should contend for starts over the busy period.

Expected out few more weeks Jones is expected to remain out a "few more weeks" because of an eye injury suffered in training a couple weeks ago. According to Dr. Joe Moxon, "The nature of the issue means caut...

Impact It's an unfortunate update for Jones, who returned from injury and was back in the starting XI prior to injuring his eye in a freak accident in training just before the break. It's unknown when he'll be back and the main hope for Liverpool right now is that they don't lose any more midfielders to injury ahead of the busy season.

Out against West Ham Jones will remain out for Sunday's trip to West Ham, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "Curtis is a completely different story [to Firmino], he was very unlucky in training - he g...

Impact This sounds like a bit of a freak injury for Jones that will keep him out his second-straight match. The thought is that he'll be back in training over the break and available again in two weeks, as long as the recovery to his eye goes well. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is an option to start in the midfield again Sunday.

Picks up eye injury Jones (eye) is out for Wednesday's clash with Atletico Madrid after picking up an eye injury in training, according to James Pearce.

Impact Jones picked up the eye injury in training, it's not clear how serious it is, but he will be one to keep track of heading into a Sunday trip to West Ham. If he's unable to play Sunday he will have the entirety of the international break to recover.

On bench against Man United Jones (groin) is in Liverpool's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Manchester United.

Impact Jones has missed Liverpool's last two games with a groin injury, but he's fit enough to make the bench on Sunday and could get some playing time in the game.

Will train Friday Jones (groin) will train in full Friday and be a late-fitness test for Sunday's trip to Manchester United, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.

Impact Jones appears to be on the right track to return Sunday, though it's hard to see him starting with just two days of full training under his belt. He's been out for about three weeks now and he'll likely be an option off the bench in his first match back.
