Curtis Jones was spotted in the final training session ahead of the crunch second leg vs PSG on Tuesday evening.
Curtis Jones returns to training ahead of PSG clash
Curtis Jones has returned to training after suffering a groin injury in the 2-0 win over Fulham on Saturday.
There is no bigger game on the calendar right now. Liverpool face Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final at Anfield on Tuesday night, and everything is on the line. ‘
The Reds go into this one trailing 2-0 from the first leg in Paris, where goals from Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia gave the defending champions a commanding advantage heading back to Merseyside.
It is a mountain to climb. But Anfield has witnessed miracles before, and Arne Slot’s side know that nothing less than a multi-goal effort will do if they are to keep their European dream alive.
Ahead of the massive encounter, Liverpool held what is being streamed as a live training session at the AXA Training Centre in Kirkby – the club’s final preparations on home soil before the battle begins.
But as the squad assembled for that final run-out, the injury list continued to cast a shadow over proceedings. Curtis Jones was forced off at half-time during Saturday’s 2-0 Premier League win over Fulham at Anfield. The 25-year-old went down late in the first half clutching his groin and did not reappear for the second period, with Ryan Gravenberch replacing him.
However, in a positive update, Paul Joyce of the Times has reported that Jones has returned to training, a timely boost for Arne Slot who has spoken about having a stronger bench in recent weeks due to players returning from injury.
Slot was candid in his post-match assessment, saying: “He felt a little bit his groin. It wasn’t the moment — he felt it already for a few minutes. So, let’s hope for the best.”
Long-term absentees Conor Bradley (knee), Wataru Endo (ankle), and youngster Giovanni Leoni (ACL) remain sidelined and are not expected back this season.
Slot’s side showed character against Fulham to end a three-match losing run, and that spirit will need to be transferred to a sold-out Anfield tonight. The atmosphere will be electric, the fans know what is required, and so do the players. PSG are formidable, but they are not invincible, and Liverpool have the quality on their day to turn this tie on its head.
Meanwhile, PSG have named a 22-man squad including Bradley Barcola, who is back after an ankle injury sustained in their round of 16 clash vs Cheslea.
