Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has said that Curtis Jones suffered an injury against Watford at Anfield, according to Goal.

Klopp’s Liverpool got the better of Watford 2-0 at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday.

Midfielder Jones started the match for the Reds, but the 21-year-old was taken off for Fabinho in the 62nd minute.

Liverpool manager Klopp has said that Jones twisted his ankle.

Midfielder Naby Keita did not feature in the match due to an ongoing knee problem.

Liverpool World quotes Klopp as saying about Jones: “I’m not sure if it’s a concern. He twisted his ankle and wanted strapping. We wanted to change anyway.”

Curtis Jones injury blow for Liverpool?

In our opinion, the injury to Jones will be a blow for Liverpool, as they aim to win the Premier League, the Champions League and the FA Cup this season.

Now, of course, we do not know the extent of the injury to Jones right now.

It could well be that the England Under-21 international midfielder does not miss too many games.

However, Liverpool manager Klopp will want Jones, as well as Keita, to be fit.

Yes, Liverpool have a strong midfield, but the Anfield club cannot afford to have too many injuries now.

Jones has made eight starts and five substitute appearances in the Premier League for Liverpool so far this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist in the process.
