Jürgen Klopp has confirmed Jordan Henderson is unlikely to return to action for Liverpool until after the forthcoming international break.

The captain has missed the Reds’ last three matches, including Sunday’s win over Burnley, due to a foot injury.

Klopp admitted in his post-match press conference Henderson is also set to be ruled out of next weekend’s trip to Manchester City as he continues his rehabilitation.

Asked whether the midfielder could feature for England in their upcoming encounters with Germany and Lithuania, the boss replied: “No chance. The [international] break, these two weeks, hopefully – it’s what we hope - can bring him back, but there’s no game possible in this time.

“That’s how it is. He cannot train, he for sure cannot play against City and it makes sense that he is doing the rehab.

“Hopefully he can run in the second week of the international break and then we have to see.”
