Liverpool welcome West Ham United in the Premier League this Monday and Jordan Henderson is going to miss this match with an injury.
The midfielder has had a formidable season for the Anfield outfit but he picked up an injury during Liverpool’s 1-0 loss to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday.
And now after further assessing the injuries, the club have confirmed that Jordan Henderson will be on the sidelined for a couple of weeks atleast.
“Hendo, it could have been worse. How we all know, it was a hamstring,” said the manager as reported by the club’s official website.
“We heard of different hamstring injuries now around in the Premier League – Harry Kane, for example. It’s not that bad.
“But he will be out, I think, for three weeks or so, which is not cool. But how we see it, we were still lucky. That’s it.
“Changes, I could, because apart from Hendo all the other boys are fit.
“But Tuesday-Monday [between games], there is absolutely no need to do it. That’s enough time, longer than we usually have. We will see who will start, maybe we will make more changes – but not because of the Atletico game.”
While Jurgen Klopp does have the likes of Naby Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Minamino at his disposal and each one of them is capable of playing in the Jordan Henderson role, but the manager will surely struggle to replace the energy of his club captain.
