# Liverpool: Fans fume as Gini Wijnaldum likely to start

**Many Liverpool fans have been left to fume as some early team news has emerged ahead of their away trip to Burnley in the Premier League.**

As per Daily Mirror journalist [David Maddock](https://twitter.com/MaddockMirror) (via [Anfield Watch](https://twitter.com/AnfieldWatch/status/1394772608927911936)), Gini Wijnaldum is likely to replace Curtis Jones in the only change made from the win at West Brom over the weekend.

Wijnaldum’s future is still up in the air given that he has not signed a new deal, and so some of the Kop faithful are questioning how committed he is to the Merseyside club ahead of a big game for their UEFA Champions League qualification hopes.

The Netherlands international has not exactly been inspiring in the top flight either, with a mere two goals and no assists in 36 matches in total so far in the 2020/21 term ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/georginio-wijnaldum/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/49499/plus/0?saison=2020&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=GB1&pos=&trainer_id=)), and so Jurgen Klopp would likely have to rely on other players in front of goal against the Clarets.
