Arne Slot says Curtis Jones tried to shake off a knock but asked to come off during Liverpool's 2-1 win against Lille.

With the Reds having failed to sign a defensive midfielder last summer after they were snubbed by Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi, Gravenberch has grown in importance alongside Alexis Mac Allister. Slot does not appear to trust Wataru Endo as a regular starter and the lack of options mean former Bayern Munich star Gravenberch and Mac Allister largely feature in almost every game.

Liverpool earned a 2-1 win over Lille but Curtis Jones had to be substituted at half-time because of injury. Arne Slot has provided an injury update on Curtis Jones after Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over Lille.
