Liverpool hit by injury 'staff have never seen before' as Curtis Jones explains unexpected absences

Curtis Jones has opened up on his injury nightmare at Liverpool, revealing the club's medical staff have told him the bone issue is "something they have never seen before".

And the midfielder explained how he has been carefully managing the long-term complaint with the help of a specialist and an unusual rehabilitation schedule that caused him to miss Saturday's 4-1 loss at Manchester City, despite technically being fit to play.

The England Under-21 international has been limited to just three starts all season for Jurgen Klopp and has been dealing with a stress problem in the tibia of his right leg that was first detected in the closing stages of the Community Shield win over Man City in late July.
