Henderson highlights Liverpool progress without Suarez & Coutinho

The Reds skipper believes a return to Anfield for two former favourites shows how far Jurgen Klopp's side have come since selling two star men

Jordan Henderson believes Anfield returns for Barcelona stars Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho highlight how far Liverpool have come since being forced to part with prized assets.

The Reds reluctantly agreed to the sales of two South Americans in the summer of 2014 and winter transfer window of 2018, with a Uruguayan striker and Brazilian playmaker trading Merseyside for Catalunya.

Retaining the qualities of Suarez and Coutinho would have been the obvious preference, but Liverpool have rebuilt without them to become serious contenders for Premier League and Champions League crowns under the guidance of Jurgen Klopp.
