NewsCurtis Jones injury update
Curtis Jones’ spell on the sidelines is set to continue into the forthcoming weeks as he continues his recovery from an eye injury sustained prior to the international break.
The midfielder suffered the issue following an accidental collision in training and was subsequently ruled out of the Reds’ fixtures with Atletico Madrid and West Ham United.
Further diagnosis has confirmed Jones will remain out of action for at least a few weeks more as he recovers from the problem, which is specific to the eye and not the socket.
Doctor Jim Moxon explained: “It’s a freak injury and very unlucky, but the important thing to emphasise is there is no lasting damage and his vision won’t be impacted beyond the recovery period.
“However, the nature of the issue means caution is important; we need to allow it time to heal and we can’t rush it, therefore it won’t be a speedy return.
“It needs to mend before we are able to reintroduce Curtis to full training, but there are things he can do in the meantime to maintain fitness.
“We can’t put a specific timescale on a return beyond it will be a number of weeks from now as it heals naturally, so it’s not one we will risk and patience is a virtue with this specific recovery.”
