Arne Slot claimed it was too early to tell the severity of Curtis Jones' injury after the Liverpool star was hauled off in their pre-season win over Real Betis.

The Dutchman saw his new team claim victory in Pittsburgh courtesy of Dominik Szoboszlai's strike, but it wasn't all good news for Slot, who had to bring Jones off.



Slot claimed the academy graduate could've continued, but was clearly not himself.

He said: "I think it's too early to tell [how bad it is].

Jones' injury meant that Slot could throw Trey Nyoni into the fold as he attempted to make the best of a bad situation.

The Dutchman added: "It's always a pity if he has to go out after 25 minutes, half an hour.

"It was unfortunate because he had two really good weeks during the training sessions so I looked forward to seeing him in the game, but unfortunately he had to go out.

"The good thing about that was that we brought someone [on] that impressed me in the 45 minutes to an hour he played afterwards.

That was the positive thing of Curtis going out for Trey, but of course for Curtis it's a pity that he couldn't play on."

Liverpool's next assignment across the Atlantic will be a clash with Premier League rivals Arsenal.
