### The Lowdown: Jones missing out again

Jurgen Klopp’s side head to Naples for a tough assignment on Wednesday evening, as they get their European campaign underway for another season.

There are still injury problems for Liverpool to contend with, despite Thiago’s return being a huge boost, with Curtis Jones one of those who looks set to be unavailable for the game.

### The Verdict: Shame for the youngster

This is a real blow for Carvalho, who will have been on cloud nine this time last week after scoring a dramatic last-gasp winner at home to Newcastle United.

His progress has been halted at a cruel time and it adds to Liverpool’s current midfield injury woes, with the youngster joining Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita, Curtis Jones and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on the sidelines.

The hope is that Carvalho is available for the weekend [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) clash with Wolves at Anfield, however, potentially playing another key role from the substitutes’ bench.
