Liverpool supporters are excitedly watching several members of Jurgen Klopp’s squad return to start pre-season training ahead of the new campaign but there’s some who haven’t finished playing games in the previous season – including Curtis Jones.
Being handed a starting role in England Under-21 Euros final match against Spain, our No.17 inadvertently deflected a Cole Palmer free-kick past Arnau Tenas and put the Three Lions into the lead.
It’s safe to say that the Scouser didn’t know much about it but when you can say you’ve scored in a major cup final – it doesn’t matter how they go in.
The break that awaits the 22-year-old may mean he is unable to partake in all of the pre-season preparation his club manager would have wanted but the midfielder will be eager to prove that he deserves a chance in his midfield for the new campaign.
