Curtis Jones is expected to start for Liverpool against Toulouse in this week’s UEFA Europa League match, according to reports from Jurgen Klopp.
The 22-year-old midfielder will start again, according to the Liverpool Echo, after sitting out the Reds’ previous two games because of a ban.
Jones played solely off the bench in Liverpool’s most recent European outing against Union SG after receiving a red card in last month’s 2-1 loss to Tottenham.
Harvey Elliott praised Jones as “unbelievable” in training, and despite his careless red card in north London earlier in the season, Jones has been in great form for Liverpool this season.
And the midfielder will be excited about the opportunity to return to the starting lineup for Liverpool, as a victory over Toulouse will effectively advance the Reds to the next round of the Europa League.
In fact, Jones deserves a second chance after being kicked out of the Premier League, and a start this week in Europe would be the perfect venue for the young player to succeed.
Jones will want to outshine Toulouse for Liverpool.
This season, Klopp has done a fantastic job of managing his team, and Jones should get another chance to shine for Liverpool in this week’s match against Toulouse.
The midfielder has been superb 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.
Additionally, the opposition will be ideal for Jones to demonstrate his skills because the 22-year-old is expected to hurt Liverpool on Merseyside.
