Liverpool boss Arne Slot is anxiously awaiting news of midfielder Curtis Jones after he was forced out of the club's pre-season friendly against Real Betis.

The 23-year-old limped off with a muscle problem 30 minutes into a 1-0 win at the Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh during the early hours of Saturday morning.

Speaking after his first game in charge of the Reds, Slot told the club's official website: 'I think it's too early to tell (how bad it is). He maybe could have played on, but I think maybe you could see he was not at 100 per cent.
