Liverpool injury news: Slot confirms midfielder will miss Ipswich clash | OneFootball

Arne Slot has confirmed that Curtis Jones will miss Liverpool’s clash with Ipswich Town in the Premier League this weekend.

Jones was substituted at half-time of the club’s 2-1 win over Lille in the Champions League on Tuesday night. After being assessed, the 24-year-old has been ruled out of tomorrow’s fixture at Anfield.

Ryan Gravenberch was also withdrawn at half-time, though that change was to hand the Dutchman rest. Diogo Jota and Joe Gomez are the other confirmed absentees for Liverpool this weekend.

Ipswich’s arrival at Anfield will see Slot face off against the team he opened his Liverpool reign against in August. Liverpool won 2-0 at Portman Road on the opening weekend, courtesy of goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah.

Ipswich are 18th in the table and lost 6-0 to Manchester City last weekend but Slot believes the Tractor Boys have shown improvement since their early season encounter.

“I think it’s fair to say Ipswich have improved during the first half of the season. It’s also a compliment to Kieran McKenna, who made it really difficult in the first time,” Slot said at his pre-match press conference.

“They’ve become a good team who make it difficult, with the last game being an exception because maybe [Manchester] City are becoming City again.”
