Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones has resumed training on grass after recovering from an injury. Jones had been sidelined with an apparent groin issue, which forced him off during a recent defeat at Brentford. His return to grass training marks an important step towards full fitness as he works to overcome the problem that had put his availability in doubt for Liverpool's upcoming fixtures.

The club is currently managing multiple injuries within the squad. Alongside Jones, other key players like Jeremie Frimpong and Alisson Becker are sidelined with hamstring injuries, expected to be out for several weeks. This has left Liverpool with at least eight players unavailable at various times this season, including Alexander Isak (groin), Ryan Gravenberch (ankle), Giovanni Leoni (ACL), Jayden Danns (hamstring), and Stefan Bajcetic (hamstring).

Jones's return to grass training is a positive development amid a challenging injury landscape for Liverpool manager. The club's recent form and squad rotation options have been affected by these injuries, limiting the ability to rest key players strategically. Jones is progressing cautiously, with the club waiting to see how he responds before confirming his return for competitive matches.

Overall, while Liverpool continue to face injury setbacks among important squad members, the midfielder's recovery progress offers hope that he could soon rejoin the team on the pitch.
