It appears that both Curtis Jones and Fabio Carvalho will be unavailable for selection ahead of Liverpool’s upcoming trip to Italy for the opening Champions League group stage match.
The pair were reportedly absent from team training, according to a tweet from James Pearce, with The Athletic reporter noting that “it’s not clear what the issue is” regarding the former’s return to the sidelines.
No sign of Carvalho or Jones in open training at Kirkby. Carvalho was sent off in the derby, while Jones was in no condition for the Everton game, having only recently returned. It is not clear what the problem is. The good news is that Thiago is back in training and looking fit.#LFC
