Curtis Jones set for Liverpool return as Jurgen Klopp handed Mohamed Salah dilemma


Via echo


Curtis Jones could return to Liverpool's starting XI for Thursday's Europa League encounter against Toulouse.


Jones has been unavailable for selection for the Reds' last two Premier League outings after being sent off in the 2-1 defeat to Tottenham




After Liverpool's appeal to the Football Association was rejected and his three-match ban subsequently upheld, Jones has been made to watch his side's games against Brighton & Hove Albion and Everton from the sideline


However, as his ban does not appeal to UEFA competitions, the 22-year-old could return to the starting XI for Liverpool's third Group E fixture of their Europa League campaign


Victory against the Ligue 1 outfit at Anfield on Thursday will edge Liverpool towards securing qualification to the knockout phase


Expected to join Jones in the engine room on Thursday night will be Wataru Endo, who is still gettingu to grips with the demands of Jurgen Klopp


Harvey Elliott could slot on the right to complete the midfield lineup.



In defence, Kostas Tsimikas will be expected to continue deputising for the injured Andy Robertson


Joel Matip and Jarell Quansah will be in contention for a starting berth at the heart of defence. Caoimhin Kelleher will keep his place between the sticks.


Darwin Nunez should return to the frontline after an impressive late cameo against Everton


Klopp could hand the Egytpian a well-deserved night off come Thursday.
