Jones will miss the Anfield clash due to the knock he picked up in the Champions League victory over Lille on Tuesday.

The No.17 joins Diogo Jota and Joe Gomez as options unavailable to Slot for the 3pm GMT kick-off.

The head coach told his pre-match press conference: "He [Jones] went out during half-time, so that's mostly not a good sign, and it wasn't because he will not be available for the game tomorrow.

"The rest we have to wait and see how long it's going to take. I'm not expecting months… but let's see if he's available for PSV or Bournemouth."

Ibrahima Konate has had his minutes managed following his return from a six-week absence with a knee issue.

On how the centre-half is dealing with the intensity of the schedule, Slot added: "I think you've seen how we've tried to manage that.

"I think we skipped him twice, at least in this game [against Lille] Jarell Quansah played. And the Accrington Stanley game he didn't play as well. That is a bit maybe because he still has some pain in his knee – don't exaggerate it – but he probably feels [it] a bit.

"It's safe for him to play. It's more the load you're aware of if a player is out for five or six weeks and then playing him every three days. That's, in our opinion, a certain risk.

"We always try to manage that, and I think he now comes to a moment where he would be able to play three times a week."

Virgil van Dijk is set to reach the milestone of 300 appearances for Liverpool in this game.

In opposition, Ipswich signed Julio Enciso on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion on Thursday, and the Paraguayan is eligible to play at Anfield.

Town boss Kieran McKenna will, however, be without injured forwards Conor Chaplin and Sammie Szmodics.

"Too soon for this one," McKenna said of the pair. "They've not trained with the group yet, so we'll have to see how they go next week."
