Jurgen Klopp is expected to start Curtis Jones in Liverpool’s UEFA Europa League match against Toulouse this week.
The Liverpool Echo reports that the 22-year-old midfielder will return to the starting lineup after missing the Reds’ last two games due to suspension.
Jones was sent off in Liverpool’s 2-1 loss to Tottenham last month, and he only came off the bench in the Reds’ most recent European outing against Union SG.
Despite his rash red card in north London earlier in the season, Jones has been in outstanding form for Liverpool this season, dubbed ‘unbelievable’ in training by Harvey Elliott.
And the midfielder will appreciate the chance to return to the Liverpool starting lineup, with a win over Toulouse effectively advancing the Reds to the next round of the Europa League.
Indeed, Jones deserves a second chance after being fired from the Premier League, and a start in Europe this week is exactly the kind of setting where he can thrive.
Jones will be looking to make an impression for Liverpool against Toulouse.
This season, Klopp has handled his team admirably, and this week’s match against Toulouse should provide Jones with another opportunity to shine for Liverpool.
The midfielder has been fantastic in recent weeks, and a European night at Anfield could be just what Jones needs to shake off some rust before his return to the Premier League.
Furthermore, the opposition on the night will be ideal for Jones to demonstrate his abilities, with the 22-year-old certain to inflict some damage for Liverpool on Merseyside.
