In case you didn’t know…

Jordan Henderson replaced Steven Gerrard as the club captain when the former English international made the journey across the Atlantic to join MLS side LA Galaxy in 2015.

The former Sunderland midfielder has done a decent job as skipper of the Reds thus far and has led the team on more than 120 occasions in all competitions. The 28-year-old has guided the Merseysiders to one Champions League final and one Europa League final under his leadership.

However, injuries have prevented him from playing regularly in the last few seasons, and he has started in just 16 league games this season. Nevertheless, he is an important part of Jurgen Klopp’s side and he always gives his best whenever called upon.

The heart of the matter

Speaking to journalists (as quoted by Goal) after Liverpool’s 3-1 win against Southampton, Jurgen Klopp praised Jordan Henderson for his fantastic character.

He said:

The German manager also praised Henderson’s versatility.

What’s next?

Liverpool will play FC Porto in the Champions League next before hosting Chelsea at Anfield in the league on April 14.
