Why is Curtis Jones not playing for Liverpool vs Wolves?


LIVERPOOL return to Anfield as they look to get back on their title tilt back on track against Wolves.

The topsy-turvy 2-2 draw saw the table-toppers drop points from a winning position for only the third time this season.

James Tarkowski’s blockbuster last-gasp finish in the 98th minute was met with incredible scenes at the final whistle.

A full-scale melee between the teams saw referee Michael Oliver hand out four red cards post-game.

He was triggered by Abdoulaye Doucoure’s on-the-whistle celebration towards the Liverpool away end and reacted angrily in the process.

Jones, who was already booked in the game, was shown a second yellow following the melee and, alongside Doucoure, was given his marching orders.

The punishment will only last one game, though, because it was a second yellow card rather than a straight red, meaning the midfielder will be back for Liverpool’s midweek game against Aston Villa.
