Jurgen Klopp is reportedly set to start Curtis Jones in Liverpool’s UEFA Europa League clash this week against Toulouse.
According to the Liverpool Echo, the 22-year-old midfielder will return to the starting XI having missed the Reds’ last two games due to suspension.
Jones was sent off in Liverpool’s 2-1 loss to Tottenham last month, with the midfielder only featuring from the bench in the Anfield side’s last European run-out against Union SG.
Lauded as ‘unbelievable’ in training by Harvey Elliott, Jones has been in impressive form for Liverpool this season despite his reckless red card in north London earlier in the campaign.
And the midfielder will relish with the chance of being back in the Liverpool starting XI, with a win against Toulouse essentially putting the Reds into the next round of the Europa League.
Indeed, Jones deserves a shot at redemption after his Premier League dismissal, and a start this week in Europe is exactly the sort of stage the youngster can thrive on.
Jones will want to impress for Liverpool against Toulouse
Klopp has so far managed his squad in an excellent manner this season, and this week’s clash against Toulouse must gift Jones the chance to impress again for Liverpool.
The midfielder has been brilliant in recent weeks, and a European night at Anfield could be exactly what Jones needs to shake off some rust ahead of his Premier League return.
Moreover, the opposition on the night will be perfect for Jones to showcase what he is capable of, with the 22-year-old likely to cause some damage for Liverpool on Merseyside.
