Liverpool Put Jones On Standby To Cover For Banned Reina

Liverpool is putting Brad Jones on standby for a first-team call as Kenny Dalglish faces up to a goalkeeping crisis.

The Australian was pulled out of the Anfield side’s reserve team on Monday night and will be in the frame to replace Pepe Reina during the Spaniard's three-game ban.

Brazilian Doni is expected to step up to face Aston Villa on Saturday after sitting on the bench in recent weeks, but he has never started a game for Liverpool.

Jones’ last taste of first-team action for Liverpool was against Northampton in a disastrous Carling Cup defeat during Roy Hodgson’s reign.

However Jones did play for Derby County on last season and his absence from the second team game brings him back into the fold.
