Liverpool head
coach Jurgen Klopp confirmed that the club captain Jordan Henderson will not
play for the rest of this season due to his knee injury.
Jordan Henderson was carried
off the pitch during Liverpool 3-1 win over Brighton following a collision with
Yves Bissouma.
"Hendo is the best possible of all
bad news -- it is a knee injury but no surgery needed but he will not play any
more in the latter stages of this season but I am pretty positive he will start
with us the new season," said Klopp.
They have 92 points, eight
short of Manchester City's record of 100 points from two seasons ago, with four
games to play.
Speaking at his pre-match
press conference, Klopp revealed that the skipper would still be the man to lift
the Premier League trophy.
"It was an awful moment
when he went down with injury," he said "You saw he knew something
happened which shouldn't have happened.
"It was a real
mood-killer. He deserves to lift the trophy and he will lift the trophy."
In their next match fixtures, Liverpool,
will host Burnley on Saturday, are on
course for a record points tally.
