Jurgen Klopp to start “unbelievable” Liverpool player Against Toulouse
Share
Jurgen Klopp is reportedly set to start Curtis Jones in Liverpool’s UEFA Europa League clash this week against Toulouse.
According to the Liverpool Echo, the 22-year-old midfielder will return to the starting XI having missed the Reds’ last two games due to suspension.
Jones was sent off in Liverpool’s 2-1 loss to Tottenham last month, with the midfielder only featuring from the bench in the Anfield side’s last European run-out against Union SG.
Lauded as ‘unbelievable’ in training by Harvey Elliott, Jones has been in impressive form for Liverpool this season despite his reckless red card in north London earlier in the campaign
And the midfielder will relish with the chance of being back in the Liverpool starting XI, with a win against Toulouse essentially putting the Reds into the next round of the Europa League.
Indeed, Jones deserves a shot at redemption after his Premier League dismissal, and a start this week in Europe is exactly the sort of stage the youngster can thrive on.
Jones will want to impress for Liverpool against Toulouse
Klopp has so far managed his squad in an excellent manner this season, and this week’s clash against Toulouse must gift Jones the chance to impress again for Liverpool.
The midfielder has been brilliant in recent weeks, and a European night at Anfield could be exactly what Jones needs to shake off some rust ahead of his Premier League return.
Moreover, the opposition on the night will be perfect for Jones to showcase what he is capable of, with the 22-year-old likely to cause some damage for Liverpool on Merseyside.

Liverpool might benefit from Bayern ace’s contract impasse
Even though the transfer window only opens twice a year and lasts for a few weeks, preparations are made all year long to give organizations like Liverpool the best chance of being in front of the line when a deal can be made.
Although there are still deals to be made on deadline day and late window purchases are common due to injuries, if a club has done its homework in the run-up to a window, as the Reds frequently do, then the agreement and contract signing are essentially formalities.
Although those associated with the club and its supporters may not have preferred, there were still players brought in during the summer transfer window, and most of them have been successful.
But as long as players of the highest caliber are still available, Jurgen Klopp must be interested in them.
He is constantly striving for perfection.
Jamal Musiala, a 20-year-old star for Bayern, could be one of them.
Our Story: FC Liverpool is interested in Jamal Musiala (20) @FCBayern. His agents are currently not talking to the club about extending his contract (Til 2026) with Bayern @SPORTBILD @altobelli13

According to Christian Falk of SportBILD, Liverpool are interested in the player.
Curiously, his agents are not in contact with the Bavarian powerhouses regarding an extension of his current contract.
The Reds may feel they’ve gained an advantage over their rivals in advance of a future contract discussion, even though there is still a lot of water that could still go under the bridge in this particular situation.

The Premier League has confirmed the return to work of the Tottenham vs. Liverpool VAR blunder official.
Although England and his assistant Dan Cook were both involved in the incident against Tottenham, it has been confirmed that they will play in this weekend’s games.
Following the VAR controversy in Tottenham’s victory over Liverpool, Premier League official Darren England will resume his duties this weekend.
The match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium featured England on VAR duty when Luis Diaz’s goal was ruled offside by the on-field officials despite replays demonstrating he was clearly onside.
Later, it was discovered that England and his aide Dan Cook thought the field-level decision was actually onside.
They were both removed from participation in games that same weekend and were not chosen for the Premier League games before the break.
However, the Premier League has announced that both are coming back, with England being named the fourth official for Brentford’s match against Burnley on Saturday.
In the meantime, Cook will assist Michael Oliver when Sheffield United plays Manchester United.
The PGMOL released audio from the VAR hub that showed the officials realizing they had made the wrong call after the game had resumed, which led to a significant amount of controversy surrounding the incident.
The chief of referees Howard Webb maintains that the proper procedure was followed despite calls for the game to be stopped.
They thought about interfering in the game to end it, but they realized that is against the rules of the game, which are set by FIFA and the IFAB.
“There’s obviously a process in place that sits in the laws of the game about how we use VAR to ensure that it is delivered consistently throughout every league in the world,” said the official. And it forbids you from returning under those conditions.
They chose not to get involved as a result.
The Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton is the opening match of the weekend, and Craig Pawson has been named as the official referee.
David Coote, who served as the VAR referee for a contentious match between the two teams in 2020, will be on the panel.
According to reports, the referee was undecided whether to dismiss Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford for a reckless challenge on Virgil van Dijk that left the defender sidelined for a significant amount of time with an injury.
When Chelsea and Arsenal square off in the London derby, Chris Kavanagh will serve as the referee as the two teams look to build on their recent success.
