NewsArne Slot's update on LFC squad fitness: Curtis Jones to miss Burnley trip

Jones sustained an issue during the Reds’ victory over Arsenal at Anfield last time out and, therefore, won’t make the journey to Turf Moor.

However, the rest of the Premier League champions’ squad has reported back to the AXA Training Centre fit following the international break.

“I think they are,” Slot told his pre-match press conference, when asked if his players are injury-free after representing their national teams.

“We train for the first time today with them, with most of them - the non-internationals did train with the U21s this week already.

“Curtis Jones, of course, I don’t know if you knew, but he got injured in the last game, so he will not be available for the game against Burnley.

“The rest of them I think all came back without a problem - and that’s not always the situation. Especially not in the beginning of the season, where everybody comes from a different background going to the national team where they all of a sudden have to play two games in four or five days, which is always the biggest risk. In November, October or March they are much more used to that programme.

“We are happy they are fit and again compliment not only for the Swedish manager but also for the others because a few others like Ryan Gravenberch started one game and not both of them.”
