In a recent interview with the club’s official website following Liverpool’s brilliant 3-0 away win against Burnley on Saturday, the Reds skipper Jordan Henderson provided an update on his medical condition and said,
“I was all right. I was fine, I don’t know, maybe the gaffer thought I was hobbling about a bit. But no, it’s fine.”
The English midfielder had to go off with what looked like a potential hamstring injury after he was subject of a robust tackle from Aaron Lennon at the Turf Moor last weekend. However, now that the former Sunderland talent has revealed that he will be ‘fine’, the Liverpool supporters would be breathing a sigh of relief as their beloved club heads into the international break with a 100% winning record in the Premier League.
Henderson’s Successful Spell As The Liverpool Captain
Henderson has played a vital role in helping his team win 13 league matches in a row stretching back to last season. The English playmaker also managed to help his team lift the UEFA Champions League trophy in the previous campaign and has already bagged a winner’s medal in the UEFA Super Cup this term.
The 26-year-old has featured in six matches for the Merseyside outfit. However, he is yet to open his goal-scoring account in the 2019-20 campaign. Henderson has also represented the English national side in 51 international matches thus far but has not been able to score a single goal for his nation thus far.
What Does The English Playmaker Offer On The Pitch?
Henderson boasts an excellent passing range and is a tireless worker at the centre of the park. He loves to lead the press for Jurgen Klopp’s side and is very useful when closing down the opposition. However, the English midfield ace tends to play it safe at times with his ball distribution from midfield.
Henderson’s Positive Injury Update: Big Boost For Klopp?
Even with his flaws, there is no denying that Henderson is a commanding and influential member of Klopp’s first-team. Hence, the Reds would be counting the lucky stars that they didn’t lose their skipper because of injury. Liverpool need all of their senior players back if they are to keep pushing Manchester City to the brink in the race for the Premier League title.
Henderson’s positive update will be a massive boost for the Merseyside giants and their chances of extending their 13-match winning run in the top tier of England.
