# Liverpool: Fans worried about Curtis Jones’ England under-21 call-up

**A number of Liverpool fans have been reacting negatively to Curtis Jones’ England under-21 call-up, with many wanting him wrapped in cotton wool.**

The 20-year-old has enjoyed a breakthrough season for the Reds, going from academy hopeful to reliable first team squad member.

Jones has been a regular in Liverpool’s midfield, due in part to Fabinho and Jordan Henderson playing at centre-back and [injuries to others](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/ausfallzeiten/verein/31), making [20 Premier League appearances](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/355354/Show/Curtis-Jones) overall.

The midfielder has also chipped in with [four goals and three assists](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/355354/Show/Curtis-Jones) in all competitions as his stock continues to rise with each passing week.

That is highlighted by Jones’ [inclusion](https://www.thefa.com/news/2021/mar/15/england-mens-under-21-squad-named-for-euro-group-stage-20210315) in England’s squad in the European Under-21 Championships group stage next week, with the Three Lions taking on Croatia, Portugal and Switzerland in Slovenia.

The Liverpool star has [three caps](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/curtis-jones/profil/spieler/433188) to his name for the under-21s and may even have hopes of making the senior squad for Euro 2020 this summer, although that may be a long shot as he is [uncapped at that level](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/curtis-jones/nationalmannschaft/spieler/433188).

### Liverpool fans react negatively to Jones’ England call-up

Although the news is a positive for Jones, some Liverpool fans have been viewing it purely from a Reds perspective, with many not wanting him to risk getting injured on international duty like [Joe Gomez was in November.](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/415749-joe-gomez-injury-update)

Here are some of the best reactions on Twitter, with negativity the order of the day after The Athletic’s [Caoimhe O’Neill](https://twitter.com/CaoimheSport/status/1371423924999847940) shared the news via the social media platform.
