'Stay with this kid' - Steven Gerrard reveals blunt message he sent Jurgen Klopp over Liverpool player

Jones has flourished following the introduction of the new role of Trent Alexander-Arnold, including his brace in Liverpool's 3-1 win over Leicester City earlier this month. There has been caution over the selection of the 22-year-old after the playmaker suffered a number of injuries leading to his game time being monitored by the medical staff at the AXA Training Centre.
