Jordan Henderson recovers from knee injury
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson faces a race to be fully fit for the Premier League champions’ opening match against Leeds next weekend.
The English international missed the last four games of last season after suffering a knee injury at Brighton in July and, although he started light training this week, he was left out of the squad for Saturday’s friendly at home to Blackpool and it won’t come back in full. training until Tuesday.
“Obviously Hendo was also desperate to play a few minutes today but it doesn’t make any sense because he had an important session to do for him today,” coach Jurgen Klopp told liverpoolfc.com.
“If he had played today, 10 minutes or so would probably have been fine, but that doesn’t make sense, so it wasn’t possible, but he trained for much of this week and will probably join the full team training next Tuesday.

“As for the weather, it’s not perfect that he can’t play today, but he can fully train a few days later. But he is.
“We’ll see how it develops, (there are) a few days until Leeds, how the guys from the national teams come back.
“There are still a lot of open questions, but we hope we can answer some today.”
However, Klopp had good news on the injury front, as Joel Matip, who has not appeared since injuring his foot in the first post-lock game against Everton on June 21, was able to start against the Seasiders in Anfield.
Liverpool rebounded from two goals against Blackpool to win 7-2.
Matip was among the scorers, with Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Harvey Elliott, Takumi Minamino, Divock Origi and Sepp van den Berg also finding the net.
