Curtis Jones explains unusual Liverpool injury absence after return with 'point to prove'

Curtis Jones has opened up on his injury problems of the past year and says he has "a point to prove" at Liverpool after his first Premier League start since May at Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Jones suffered what was described as a 'freak eye injury' in October last year that kept him sidelined for over two months and disrupted his progress, while this term he has been hampered by what Jurgen Klopp has repeatedly called a "stress reaction" whenever asked for an update on the midfielder's fitness.

The problem was initially picked up in the closing stages of the Community Shield victory over Manchester City in July before it was reaggravated in September.
