Curtis Jones misses Liverpool match due to hip injury amid Inter interest

Summary

Curtis Jones was left out of Liverpool's squad for a friendly against AS Monaco on August 9, 2026, due to a hip injury. Liverpool coach Andoni Iraola confirmed that while Jones has been training daily, he experienced issues with his hip that warranted caution. His absence led to speculation about a potential transfer to Inter Milan, which has pursued Jones for several months, hoping for a reduced price. Inter would need to offload a midfielder, likely Aleksandar Stankovic, to fund a deal if they are to acquire Jones.
