Recent reports from the Liverpool Echo suggest that the Merseyside Reds are sweating over Jordan Henderson’s fitness ahead of welcoming Leicester City at Anfield on Sunday, with Premier League action returning for the defending champions.
The club skipper was withdrawn from the England squad over the course of this ongoing international break after feeling tightness in his hamstring during the Three Lions’ Nations League fixture against Belgium.
After making the trip back to Liverpool, reports claim that Henderson has undergone subsequent treatment on his hamstring niggle, with bot the player, as well as Jurgen Klopp, harbouring hopes of the 30-year-old midfielder featuring in the weekend clash at home to Brendan Rodger’s high-flying Leicester side.
In spite of a number of first-team midfield options within his squad ranks, Klopp depends upon Henderson for the leadership impact that the English international brings with himself on the pitch, coupled with his ability to control the game from the centre of the park.
Mohammad Salah is already a major absentee for the Reds ahead of Leicester City’s visit on Sunday evening, and Klopp will be hoping that Henderson’s name is not added to an ever-growing Liverpool FC injury list.
