Curtis Jones, the talented midfielder from Liverpool, is making the most of his downtime while also ensuring he stays in top shape after receiving his first senior call-up to the England national team for the upcoming European Championship. The surprise inclusion in Gareth Southgate’s 33-man training squad has put Jones in contention for a spot in the final 26-man squad that will travel to Germany for the tournament.
To increase his chances of being selected, Jones has taken his training to Dubai, where he is currently on holiday with his partner. Utilizing the facilities at Precision Football, a unique training facility in the Middle East, Jones has been working hard to maintain his fitness levels. The bespoke training facility at Precision Football is known for its innovative approach to training, which includes gamification to target specific areas of a player’s game.
Jones has been dedicated to his training regime at Precision Football and recently shared a post on Instagram showcasing his commitment. The midfielder’s focus and determination are evident as he draws closer to joining the England team at St. George’s Park in the coming week.
While Jones faces stiff competition for a place in the final squad, he has already proven himself to be a talented player at Liverpool. Despite only starting four matches in the 11 games following his return from injury, Southgate was impressed enough to give him a chance at the senior level. Jones’ versatility and ability to make an impact off the bench could work in his favor when it comes to earning a place in the squad.
However, with six players set to be cut from the squad before the tournament, Jones knows he needs to continue impressing during the warm-up friendlies against Bosnia & Herzegovina and Iceland next month. These matches will provide him with an opportunity to showcase his skills and prove that he deserves a place among the final 26 players.
Jones’ journey from the Liverpool U21s to earning a call-up to the senior England squad is a testament to his hard work and talent. As he continues to train diligently at Precision Football, only time will tell if he can secure a spot in his first senior international tournament. The competition is fierce, but with his determination and commitment, Jones has the potential to make a lasting impression on Gareth Southgate and the England coaching staff.
