The latest from Liverpool training ahead of the PSG Champions League clash

Liverpool received an injury boost on Monday ahead of the Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain.

The Reds head into the quarter-final second leg trailing 2-0 from last week's meeting in Paris, and a monumental response will be needed to overturn the deficit against the European champions.

But Liverpool's preparations were hit with a setback when Curtis Jones sustained a knock in Saturday's 2-0 win over Fulham. The midfielder dropped to the ground in the latter stages of the first-half and, while he managed to struggle through to the interval, was replaced by Ryan Gravenberch at the interval.

“He felt a little bit his groin,” Slot said after the game. “It wasn’t in the moment. He felt it a bit for a few minutes, so let’s hope for the best. I would be surprised if a player comes off that he is available for Tuesday.

“I would almost say welcome to our season. Every time after a win or something good happens, there is always an injury following. But it’s a win, and that’s what we should be very happy with.”

However, Jones' chances of playing against PSG were boosted after the central midfielder took part in training at Kirby on Monday morning.

The full group trained as expected at the AXA Training Centre, including Alexander Isak, who came off the bench in both games last week and made his first appearances in nearly four months.

Alisson remains absent and missed Monday's session, although Slot confirmed he is closing in on a return.

Long-term absentees Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni and Wataru Endo were also not involved.

Slot will provide more clarity on Jones' situation during Monday's press conference, before PSG head coach Luis Enrique speaks to the media at Anfield.
