Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has said he hopes Curtis Jones will play in the next game.The midfielder picked up the injury in Sunday’s 4-0 win over Bournemouth and was taken off at the Vitality Stadium with less than 10 minutes remaining in the next game.
Asked about the player’s injury, Klopp replied:“We wish you all the best, including Curtis. He felt it a little, a little last week, but nothing since. “It’s 3-0, so why take that risk,” said Curtis, an experienced player. Thoughts – I hope.
However, Klopp noted that further assessment of the injury will take place ahead of Wednesday night’s game against Fulham.Liverpool still have eight players on the treatment tableTrent Alexander-Arnold (knee), Andy Robertson (shoulder), Dominic Szoboslai (groin), Kostas Tsimikas (chin), Thiago (thigh), Stefan Byketic (muscle), Joel Matip (knee), Mo Salah.

Salah was due to play in the Africa Cup of Nations but returned to Merseyside for treatment after picking up the injury during Egypt’s 2-2 draw with Ghana last week. Who will return to fitness? Klopp said Robertson, Alexander-Arnold and Szoboszlay could feature in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Fulham later this week.
However, Robertson, who has not played since October, is unlikely to be fit enough to start at Craven Cottage. The Scot may have to wait for a league game against Chelsea or Arsenal before he gets his chance.Among the other players mentioned above, Tsimikas is scheduled to return later this month, while Thiago and Vaiketic are not scheduled to return until February.
