Curtis Jones Doubtful for PSG Second Leg After Groin Injury in Fulham Win

The setback narrows Liverpool's midfield choices for a two-goal chase against Paris Saint‑Germain.

Overview

  • Curtis Jones left at half-time with a groin problem during Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Fulham on Saturday, and Ryan Gravenberch came on in his place.
  • Arne Slot said he would be surprised if Jones is fit for Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final second leg at Anfield, with PSG holding a 2-0 lead from the first game in France.
  • Slot confirmed goalkeeper Alisson Becker remains out with a muscle issue and will not return on Tuesday because he has not rejoined full training.
  • The victory halted a three-match losing run as 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha scored before Mohamed Salah added a second to lift the mood at Anfield.
  • Jones has started 12 league games this season as a rotation option, and his likely absence further limits Liverpool’s bench and in-game flexibility for the comeback attempt.
