Reds midfielder Curtis Jones has opened up on a freak injury that sidelined the English player for 10 weeks and ruined the start of his season.
What did Curtis Jones say?
Curtis Jones was struck in July while diagnosing a stress response in his tibia. This would have allowed the midfielder to briefly return to training at the end of August for a total of 10 weeks, but the player returned to action this week, appearing as a substitute in Wednesday’s win over the Hammers before playing 90 minutes in a disappointing defeat. from Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Speaking after the loss at Forest, the English midfielder told reporters it was basically a swelling in the bone. But according to Curtis Jones, if you continue with him, it can go to a turning point, and then to a break. It was the first time Jones had something like this, to be honest.
Touch a tree, it won’t change, but Curtis believes he’s the kid who never gets hurt. He doesn’t pull hamstrings, quads, calves, anything like that. When he was wounded, it was a freak. He was poked in the eye last season and for six weeks and had a bone stress reaction this season. Jones went out for four weeks, he came back and trained twice, felt it again and went out for another six. Curtis Jones says it was a tough time, but now he’s back, he’s happy and has to prove it.
