Liverpool could receive a significant boost on the injury front before their upcoming Premier League match against Brighton this Sunday. Despite lingering concerns over various players, including Andy Robertson, who suffered a recent setback while on international duty with Scotland, there’s promising news regarding Curtis Jones.
According to reports from the Liverpool Echo, Jones is nearing a return to team training and might be considered for inclusion in the matchday squad against Brighton. His potential comeback comes after being sidelined since mid-February due to an ankle injury sustained in the victory over Brentford. This setback was particularly frustrating for Jones, who had been in good form, having scored five goals earlier in 2024.
While it’s unlikely that Jones would start the match if he hasn’t yet resumed full team training, his potential availability for the squad would be a welcome development for Liverpool, especially given their busy schedule ahead. With nine matches scheduled in the next 28 days, every member of the squad will be essential, particularly in the intense Premier League title race.
Jurgen Klopp is expected to provide further updates on player injuries during his upcoming press conference on Friday, which should offer clarity on Jones’ potential availability for the Brighton clash. Even if he isn’t quite ready for this fixture, it appears that Jones’ return to action is imminent, bringing relief to both the manager and Liverpool supporters alike.
