Liverpool FC with a big week ahead as they target a Champions League comeback at Anfield followed by the Merseyside receives injury boost ahead of PSG clash after Arne Slot concern
Liverpool held an open training session on Monday morning ahead of the Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain, and Arne Slot’s preparations were boosted by the return of Curtis Jones Liverpool FC News Michael Plant Liverpool FC Reporter The latest from Liverpool training ahead of the PSG Champions League clash Liverpool received an injury boost on Monday ahead of the Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain.
The Reds head into the quarter-final second leg trailing 2-0 from last week’s meeting in Paris, and a monumental response will be needed to overturn the deficit against the European champions.
But Liverpool’s preparations were hit with a setback when Curtis Jones sustained a knock in Saturday’s 2-0 win over Fulham.
The midfielder dropped to the ground in the latter stages of the first-half and, while he managed to struggle through to the interval, was replaced by Ryan Gravenberch at the interval.
Stephen Warnock praises Liverpool’s best play ‘in weeks’ as Reds burst into lifeREAD MORE: John Aldridge disagrees with Arne Slot after Rio Ngumoha decision made “He felt a little bit his groin,” Slot said after the game. “It wasn’t in the moment.
He felt it a bit for a few minutes, so let’s hope for the best.
I would be surprised if a player comes off that he is available for Tuesday.
“I would almost say welcome to our season. Every time after a win or something good happens, there is always an injury following. But it’s a win, and that’s what we should be very happy with.”
However, Jones’ chances of playing against PSG were boosted after the central midfielder took part in training at Kirby on Monday morning.
Jones picked up an injury during Saturday’s win over PSGThe full group trained as expected at the AXA Training Centre, including Alexander Isak, who came off the bench in both games last week and made his first appearances in nearly four months.
But Jones was able to join his team-mates in training on Monday morning, seemingly allaying any injury fears as he pushes for minutes against PSG.
A start was always unlikely for Jones, but minutes off the bench is a possibility. Elsewhere, Giorgi Mamardashvili will continue in goal, with Alisson Becker still not fit enough to play.
Slot said of Alisson: “But he’s working very hard on his recovery, so we hope to have him back in the near future.
But he doesn’t train with the team yet, so he will not be performing [on] Tuesday.” Jeremie Frimpong had a torrid time last week, so Dominik Szoboszlai could be drafted in at right-back to take on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, leaving Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Alisster as the midfield two behind Mohamed Salah, Florian Wirtz and, potentially, Ngumoha.
Gravenberch, Jones and captain Virgil van Dijk are all one yellow card away from being suspended for any semi-final first leg.
Predicted Liverpool XI: Mamardashvili; Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Wirtz, Ngumoha; Ekitike Doubts: Jones Injured: Alisson, Endo, Leoni, Bradley Time and date: 8pm on Tuesday, April 14, 2026 Venue: Anfield
