Curtis Jones to Miss Liverpool’s Match Against Brentford Due to Injury

Curtis Jones will not participate in Liverpool’s Premier League match against Brentford today due to a minor injury. The midfielder has been omitted from the matchday squad at Anfield after sustaining a small issue during training earlier this week.

Arne Slot, Liverpool’s manager, provided an update regarding Jones’ situation. He stated, ‘He picked up a little injury during the week and missed a couple of sessions, so will not be available to play.’ This statement clarifies the reasons behind Jones’ absence from the squad.

This marks another setback for the 23-year-old midfielder, who had recently been part of the substitutes bench for the opening match of the season at Portman Road. Reports indicated that Jones was experiencing a ‘minor muscle issue’ and has been excluded from today’s match for precautionary reasons.

Jones has faced several injury challenges throughout his career with Liverpool. Last season, he made 36 appearances across all competitions, scoring five goals and providing three assists. However, he also missed 14 games due to prior injuries, affecting his consistency on the pitch.

As Jones enters his sixth consecutive season as a regular first-team player, he aims to solidify his position in the starting lineup under Slot’s management. His ongoing issues with injuries could impact his prospects, particularly as he seeks a new contract when his current one expires in 2026.
