Faced with an urgent need for points and a string of injuries, the German coach is falling back on this decision

Although Jurgen Klopp's side have recently reinstated players who were injured and out of action on Merseyside, their participation in Liverpool's matches still poses a risk as they are not at their best, losing out physically to their opponents and sometimes damaging their team-mates strategically.

Although the Reds boss knows perfectly well that after an injury a player is not at his best level to face a match full of intensity, the German has been forced to resort to his recently recovered players to try to solve certain shortcomings that Liverpool have at this stage of the championship, this risky plan working, although not entirely, as the lack of rhythm is what has most damaged this team.

As was the case a few weeks ago with Thiago Alcantara's return to the starting line-up against Ajax in the Champions League, so it was a similar case in midfield this weekend with the return of Curtis Jones against Nottingham Forest, declaring after the Reds' defeat that his return to the starting line-up was complicated after being out for 10 weeks. "I was out for 10 weeks, I came on Wednesday and played half an hour, then 90 today. So yeah, I'm tired, but that's part of the game."

The 21-year-old's return to the green sheet as a starter was not the best for the 21-year-old, as he faced a team motivated to get a historic result at home against one of their oldest rivals. Without being spectacular but also not falling into continuous mistakes like his other teammates, Jones has begun the process of adapting to the group to win back the confidence of his manager.

Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, the 21-year-old Briton said he is completely ready to face any situation he is put in front of him, being completely happy to completely overcome the injury that put him on intermittent rest for 10 weeks, leaving him from this moment only to increase his level and show why he can be a leader in the middle of the pitch "Now I'm back, I'm happy and I have a point to prove".
