Jurgen Klopp may have to turn to a forgotten figure to try and resolve some of his midfield issues at Liverpool after Curtis Jones excelled for England Under-21's.
The Reds academy graduate has failed to make any kind of meaningful impact at Anfield this term, making just seven league appearances
There have been countless examples recently where Jones has failed to make the matchday squad, let alone get off the bench.
his performance for the Three Lions under-21 side against France on Saturday evening may make Klopp sit up and take notice as Liverpool gear up for the season's final furlong.
Jones managed to lay on an assist for Chelsea ace Noni Madueke, before the Blues winger returned the favour two minutes later to help the Liverpool man get on the scoresheet himself.
It was the kind of display from Jones that should give Klopp plenty of food for thought
Just last month, Jones opened up on how his ambitions have shifted this season as a disappointing campaign both individually and collectively has gone on.
Jones: For me personally, at the beginning of the season I was talking about goals and assists. Now I'm at the point where I want to stay fit, I want to play as many games as I can and I want to impact the team as much as I can.
You've got to learn the defensive part of the game, which was difficult for me as I like to be so attacking. I'm at the point where I've been finding a balance of putting my game together."
Since those comments, Jones has enjoyed just five minutes worth of football
