Hendo Absence Explained
Jurgen Klopp has explained why Jordan Henderson is missing from Liverpool’s starting line-up today- and he reckons Wednesday’s trip to Porto has came into his thinking.
“He’s not injured but he gets a rest, I decided. He can do it today,” the manager said.
It was hard to decide but it gives him the opportunity to make a real session instead of sitting on the bench today, because of the situation with Emre on Wednesday, that’s the truth.
Klopp added: “We don’t think too much about the last game because it’s all about the next game – what we need, who is fit enough, who can start, sometimes who made a good performance when we brought them off the bench.
“It’s no different in this moment. It was all about thinking how we can beat Southampton, which will be difficult. That’s the choice we made.”
