Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones has 'missed a golden opportunity' to establish himself as a first team starter this season, according to pundit Paddy Kenny.
Jones has made upwards of 70 appearances in all competitions so far throughout his Liverpool career, but has missed the start of the 2022/23 season due to a stress response of the bone. He returned to training briefly at the end of last month, but suffered a recurrence of the injury after two sessions.
With Thiago, Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all missing parts of the campaign through injury, the first part of the season could have presented the perfect opportunity for the 21-year-old to nail down a place in the starting line-up. Former Leeds United goalkeeper and Ireland international Kenny highlighted Harvey Elliott 's progress this term as an example of what could have been for Jones if not for injury.
