Liverpool fans have been responding on Twitter to the latest fitness update of Jordan Henderson.
This comes after Liverpool journalist James Pearce shared a post on his official Twitter page relaying comments made by Jurgen Klopp on Henderson’s injury sustained in their 4-0 thrashing of Leicester.
Is Jordan Henderson Liverpool's best midfielder?
Yes
No
This post then gathered a number of replies from Liverpool fans who were eager to share their own thoughts on the matter.
Here’s a sample of Liverpool fans reacting to Pearce’s post:
Brilliant Hendo is the one of the most important players atm

“Run through brick walls” mentality. One of the very best captains in world football at the moment. Don’t “@” me as the cringey twitter saying goes.

Captain could play through a broken leg in mentality.

The Liverpool captain was substituted in the second half at the King Power Stadium after picking up what originally looked like a nasty leg injury. After hobbling off the pitch and having a bag of ice strapped to his shin, things looked bad for the Englishman.
But with Klopp’s comments after the win, he assured Liverpool fans that Henderson’s injury was not as serious as it looked. This news delighted a lot of Reds fans on Twitter.

What do we think?
Given the current injuries to Fabinho and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, if Henderson were to find himself sidelined as well, it would have been a nightmare scenario for Klopp. But thankfully no serious damage was caused to Henderson and is not likely to miss any games because of it.
