Jones is also set to miss Wednesday night's Premier League clash and the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea this weekend, having also come off at the Gtech Community Stadium.

"Curtis got a knock on the lower part of his shin, or above the ankle," Jurgen Klopp said after the match.

"We will see what that means. It was what he felt, but he was not 100 per cent sure. That Curtis cannot play on tells you that it must be something because he would have played on at all costs."

Darwin Nunez is a doubt after he was replaced at half-time, but that is not believed to be a serious issue and the decision was more precautionary.

Liverpool are already without Trent Alexander-Arnold due to a knee issue, while Caoimhin Kelleher is expected to continue in goal with Alisson Becker struggling with a muscle injury.

Thiago Alcantara, Joel Matip and Stefan Bajcetic are longer-term absentees, giving Klopp plenty to ponder as his side look to stay in pole position in the title race and lift a first trophy of the season over the next few days.

Dominik Szoboszlai will not be involved against Luton but could feature in the Carabao Cup final, while Mohamed Salah can be expected to get more minutes in midweek, but may not be risked from the start with a trip to Wembley looming.
