Klopp hopeful over Henderson fitness as Liverpool injury list grows

The Reds boss took Henderson's desire to stay on against Huddersfield Town as a good sign for his injury prospects.

Jurgen Klopp is hopeful Jordan Henderson will avoid becoming the latest first-team regular on Liverpool's injury list following his early withdrawal against Huddersfield on Saturday.

The England midfielder reportedly experienced hamstring tightness before being replaced by Georginio Wijnaldum at half-time of the narrow 1-0 win.

Naby Keita and Sadio Mane missed the match with hamstring and hand issues respectively while Mohamed Salah, James Milner and Virgil van Dijk all started under injury clouds.
