Curtis Jones<\/a> has been ruled out of Liverpool\u2019s trip to Burnley<\/a> having previously been expected to start, with Arne Slot<\/a> providing a fitness update.<\/b><\/p>\n

Jones could realistically have been considered to start as part of Slot\u2019s midfield at Turf Moor on Sunday, having not been called up for England duty.<\/p>\n

But it transpires that the 24-year-old will now miss out entirely having picked up a new injury in the 1-0 win over Arsenal<\/a> before the international break.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters at the AXA Training Centre on Friday, Slot revealed that the squad was otherwise near fully fit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe train today for the first time with most of them. The non-internationals trained with the U21s this week already,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cCurtis Jones<\/a> of course, I don\u2019t know if you knew, got injured in the last game. So he will not be available for the game against Burnley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I think the rest of them came back without a problem, and that\u2019s not always the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cEspecially at the beginning of the season where everybody comes from a different background, going to the national team where they then all of a sudden have to play two games in four or five days, which is always the biggest risk.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn October, November and March they are much more used to that programme.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we are happy that they are fit, and again, compliment not only to the Swedish manager [for resting Alexander Isak<\/a>] but also the others, because a few others like Ryan Gravenberch<\/a> only started one game and not both of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"LIVERPOOL,<\/p>\n

Jeremie Frimpong<\/a> has recovered from a hamstring injury and was part of the small group of senior players working with the U21s throughout the week.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Stefan Bajcetic<\/a> is back working outdoors following surgery on his hamstring in May and is likely to build up his game time with academy football in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

The biggest concern beyond Jones may come with Alexis Mac Allister<\/a>, who was not 100 percent fit heading into duty with Argentina but still played 90 minutes in their 1-0 loss to Ecuador on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

But with Slot having more options available at right-back, the likelihood is that Dominik Szoboszlai<\/a> can join Gravenberch \u2013 rested for the Netherlands \u2013 and Florian Wirtz<\/a> in midfield at the weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Curtis Jones has been ruled out of Liverpool\u2019s trip to Burnley having previously been expected to start, with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":418715,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[94,763,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-418714","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-liverpool-fc","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115191931518608659","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/418714","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=418714"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/418714\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/418715"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=418714"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=418714"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=418714"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
