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.

Man United humiliated: Salah hat trick in 5-0 Liverpool rout

Mohamed Salah scored a hat trick as Liverpool humiliated Manchester United 5-0 in the Premier League

OCTOBER 24, 2021 • Associated Press

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.

OCTOBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Tuesday Jones (groin) will not be available against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday. Manager Jurgen Klopp told reporters, "Today he did only warming up and then did his stuff, but still individ...

Impact Prior to getting hurt, Jones had made three straight appearances in the starting XI, including the club's previous UCL match versus Porto. Naby Keita should continue to fill a midfield role with Jones unavailable. Once cleared to play, perhaps as early as Sunday's tilt with Manchester United, Jones should be in the mxi to reclaim his spot on the pitch.

Will miss Watford trip Jones has a "slight injury" suffered over the international break and will miss Saturday's trip to Watford, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.

Impact It's unfortunate for Jones, who returned from the injury earlier in the week and actually played 33 minutes with the national team. He clearly wasn't completely over the issue and now that will cost him time with Liverpool, possibly moving James Milner into a midfield role.

OCTOBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Returns from injury over break Jones (groin) played 33 minutes in Monday's match and assisted for the England U21s.

Impact Jones looks to be over his groin tweak and he was well enough to play the majority of the second half Monday. It's a great sign for the midfielder, who appears to be fit and should be available to start for Saturday's trip to Watford.

OCTOBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with groin issue over break Jones missed the England U21 match Thursday because of a tight groin. According to head coach Lee Carsley, "He had a bit of tightness in his groin area. We will never put players i...

Impact This doesn't sound like a major issue and Jones could be available for the team's next match in a few days. Still, groin injuries are tricky things and can pop up even when you feel 100 percent. It'll definitely be something to monitor having started and made the score-sheet in each of Liverpool's last three matches.

Salah brilliance not enough, Liverpool held 2-2 by Man City

Kevin De Bruyne scored Manchester City's second equalizer in the front of the Kop to secure a 2-2 draw at Liverpool in the Premier League

OCTOBER 3, 2021 • Associated Press

Supplies two assists during CL win Jones supplied two assists, took four shots (three on goal) and created three scoring chances during Tuesday's 5-1 win over FC Porto.

Impact Jones made his second straight start and now has two assists to go with a goal in those two outings. He's been playing at a very high level and should warrant consideration for Sunday's match against Manchester City, especially with Thiago Alcantara (calf) expected to miss the match, though Naby Keita is also an option.

Salah gets 100th PL goal but Liverpool held 3-3 at Brentford

Mohamed Salah scored his 100th Premier League goal for Liverpool but it was not enough to beat Brentford as the two sides played out a breathless 3-3 draw

SEPTEMBER 25, 2021 • Associated Press

Scores first goal of season Jones scored a goal, took four shots (one on target) and made three tackles (won two) during Saturday's 3-3 draw against Brentford.

Impact Jones scored Liverpool's third goal by rifling in a long-range shot at David Raya's near post. He did benefit from a slight deflection but there wasn't much Raya could change due to the power Jones generated with his shot. Liverpool are without Thiago Alcantara (hamstring) at the moment, which could keep Jones as a starting option heading into Tuesday's match against FC Porto before they host Manchester City next Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Bench option versus Burnley Jones (concussion) is available for Saturday's game against Burnley.

Impact Jones has cleared the protocol and will provide some depth to the midfield, which is missing James Milner and Fabinho in this one. Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita are getting the start.

AUGUST 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Should be ready Saturday Jones (concussion) has passed protocol and should be an option for Saturday's match against Burnley after being left out of the team injury report.

Impact Jones could be an option to start Saturday, as a concussion didn't take away any of his fitness. He's aiming for more playing time this season and could start with Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara still coming back to full health.

Impact Jones took a kick to the face and now the diagnosis has been confirmed. He had a chance to start the season opener given the status of other players returning from international duty, but this concussion prevents that from happening. Once everyone is healthy, Jones will hope to be one of the first options off the bench after making 24 appearances last season.

AUGUST 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves friendly early Jones was forced off in the 30th minute of Monday's friendly against Osasuna after a kick to the face.

Impact This doesn't seem like a major injury that will keep Jones out, but it was enough to force him out of a friendly. As long as he can train in the coming days, it's expected he'll be ready for Saturday's opener against Norwich City, albeit likely in a role off the bench.

AUGUST 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ends season without role Jones stayed on the bench for the final two matches after starting and playing 59 minutes in the win against West Brom.

Impact Jones had a few sparks in the middle of the season, but he eventually lost time and rarely appeared over the final few months. He finished with 13 starts from 24 league appearances, as well as five starts in league play. He'll likely open next season on the bench, mainly because there still won't be a role for him when everyone is healthy despite Georginio Wijnaldum moving on. Thiago Alcantara, Fabinho and Jordan Henderson remain the starters in Liverpool's midfield.

JUNE 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Sunday Jones is getting the start ahead of Georginio Wijnaldum at left mid for Sunday's game at West Brom.

Impact Jones made a big impact as a sub against Manchester United earlier in the week, and now he gets the starting nod in another critical road fixture. Wijnaldum might be moving on after the season, so this could be a harbinger of the future for Jones.

MAY 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Provides assist against United Jones provided an assist and made one interception during Thursday's 4-2 win over Manchester United.

Impact Jones replaced Georginio Wijnaldum in the 74th minute and ended up providing an assist to Mohamed Salah to clinch all three points in a crucial matchup. Jones will likely continue to come off the bench in the remaining three matches of the season.
