Liverpool manager Arne Slot has played down concerns around midfielder Curtis Jones’ fitness and praised his young replacement Trey Nyoni.
Jones went down the tunnel in the 30th minute with a muscle injury during Liverpool’s 1-0 win against Real Betis in Pittsburgh, United States.
When asked about whether Jones going off potentially marred his first match in charge, Slot said: "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.
"In a friendly game, with so many days coming up in our tour, it was best to take him off.
