Jones’ injury has reignited debates about his reliability, with some fans calling for him to be sold.

Another fan echoed this sentiment, writing, “He’s injury prone and is a purple patch player”. Some fans also directed their frustration at the medical team, with one commenting, “[And] it starts lol. Get rid of the medical team.”
Despite the criticism, head coach Arne Slot remains cautious about Jones’ injury, saying it’s too early to determine the extent of the issue. “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. Hopefully, he can recover from [it] really fast, but we have to wait and see.”
Jones’ injury is a blow to Liverpool, who are already facing a busy pre-season schedule. The team will next face Arsenal in a friendly on Wednesday, July 31, and Slot may be forced to rely on other midfield options, including Stefan Bajcetic, Tyler Morton, Trey Nyoni, and James McConnell.
