Klopp sweating on Henderson
Posted Friday, January 01, 2016 by foxsportsasia.com
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is hoping Jordan Henderson has not aggravated the foot injury which saw him miss much of the first half of the season.
The 25-year-old midfielder was taken off during the second half of the Reds' 1-0 win at Sunderland on Wednesday after feeling pain in the heel that has troubled him since August.
Henderson had only returned to action at the end of last month and had started the last four games in the Premier League for Klopp's side.
However, the German faces an anxious wait to determine whether his skipper has suffered a fresh injury setback after confirming it was the same foot.
"We have to wait a little bit because it was something with the heel," Klopp told reporters. "But it could be good for him, we hope - something like the final pain then it goes in a better direction for him.
"Everyone knows Hendo is a really tough guy and yesterday he tried, then I saw, 'Come on, let's change, we have a fully recovered Lucas on the bench, so we can change', and that's what we did.
"Now we have to wait a few hours more or a day and then we'll know more."
