Liverpool's Jones to miss season opener due to concussion protocols

Jones was substituted during the first half of its pre-season friendly win against Osasuna on Monday following a collision.

The 20-year-old is the second player to be ruled out ahead of its league opener after defender Andy Robertson sustained ligament damage.

Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones was ruled out of his team's Premier League season-opener at Norwich City on Saturday because of concussion protocols, manager Juergen Klopp said.

Jones was substituted during the first half of its pre-season friendly win against Osasuna on Monday following a collision.

"He had a slight concussion so we just have to follow the protocol," Klopp told the club's website.

"He is fine, but that's the protocol. He is available for training from Sunday on I think."
