Henderson was subbed off after the half-hour mark in Liverpool’s 2-0 defeat to Everton back in February. It was confirmed by the club that the captain had suffered a groin injury and had to undergo surgery. Star defender Virgil van Dijk was injured earlier in the season against the same opponents last October, which ruled him out for the season.
Although Klopp has now said he would not deny England or the Netherlands their key player, he will not rush either player back into action. In his pre-match press conference ahead of Liverpool’s Premier League trip to Arsenal on Saturday, Klopp said:
Klopp expects Henderson to return to the Liverpool squad soon
Klopp’s comments come after England manager Gareth Southgate expressed uncertainty over the Liverpool midfielder’s Euro 2020 chances. Southgate, however, left the door open for the Henderson in the hope that the Liverpool man will recover before the squad selection at the end of the season.
Jurgen Klopp has refused to provide a time frame for Henderson’s return to the side but confirmed that the 30-year-old would return to training soon.
