Midfielder Curtis Jones has not been included in Liverpool's squad for today's match and did not even make the bench. This was reported by insider Fabrizio Romano.
The club has been quick to assure fans that the absence of the England international is purely precautionary in nature. Liverpool representatives described this decision as a routine safety measure.
However, the situation appears much more intriguing. The midfielder continues to attract significant attention in the transfer market, with Italian side Inter remaining the primary contender for his signature.
The Serie A club still has the midfielder on their list of priority targets for the ongoing summer transfer window. It's no surprise that any roster movements from Liverpool concerning the player are drawing heightened interest across Europe.
