Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has highlighted the return to action of Curtis Jones.

The midfielder is back for Liverpool after long-term injury and Henderson praised his young teammate in today's match programme notes for their meeting with Nottingham Forest.

Henderson wrote: "The negatives of that day are clear, but so too are the recent positives and one that I would like to highlight is the form of Curtis Jones.

"Everyone who has played with Curtis or watched him develop from a young player to a first-team pro will not need me to tell them about his ability. He is a big talent who is capable of achieving so much and it is great to see him doing as well as he has of late.

"As everyone knows, Curtis has had more than his fair share of injury problems this season and when that happens, particularly at a young age, it costs you opportunity, rhythm and form. Hopefully Curtis has overcome these challenges now and can maintain the form which has earned him a lot of deserved plaudits."
