Either way, there may be assurances that Jones will want about his playing time as he nears the peak years of his career.Arne Slot recently praised Jones for his display at right-back in the Merseyside Derby, where he helped Liverpool claim a late victory over rivals Everton."Curtis showed mainly character in that game," said the Reds boss.

"Playing not in your own position in a very difficult away game, difficult circumstances, and to have that performance is really good."But when I look a bit deeper into it, he is one of the players I spoke to this week that in certain situations he has to position himself a little bit more as a natural full-back. There is still room for improvement in that position."But what helped us is that he is really comfortable on the ball.

That was a quality that a right-back had for a long time who played here before, a very, very comfortable player on the ball in Trent Alexander-Arnold."He gave I wouldn't say a copy of Trent, but Curtis gave us that quality on the ball - calm, finding the right passes, starting to dribble, he gave us that in the Everton game and that helped us."When asked about whether Jones would've wanted more game time this season, Slot added: "Since I am the manager he plays much more minutes than he ever did before. If you have a lot of injuries, then in the top 25 there are five or six players of ours with the most minutes played."Curtis played a good game against Everton, although now all of a sudden everybody had a good game because we won."Jones's future is likely interlinked with those around him in the squad in midfield, with question marks still hanging over the future of Alexis Mac Allister.
