Liverpool youngster Curtis Jones set for new role after being urged to 'score and assist more'

Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones could be set for a new role at England U21s as Lee Carsley's side endure injury problems.

The 22-year-old is likely to start up front for the young Three Lions in their upcoming clash with Croatia at Craven Cottage. It comes after the former Everton midfielder has been dealt an injury blow with striker Folarin Balogun pulling out of the latest camp.

Aston Villa loanee Cameron Archer is the only recognised forward currently in the ranks with the Reds midfielder coming off the bench to score on Saturday during their 4-0 win over France. The twist comes in preparation for the upcoming European Championships in Europe but they have been in good form following wins over Italy, Germany and the aforementioned French youngsters.
