Jurgen Klopp has no doubts who his Liverpool captain will be
Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson still has a key role
to play at the club.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has said that he has
no doubts over handing the captaincy back to
Jordan Henderson once he returns from his injury
layoff, The Sun reports.
The England international midfielder has been
out of action since mid-August, missing the
Merseyside derby at Everton as well as a series
of matches under new boss Klopp.
James Milner has captained the side
in Henderson's absence, impressing with a
number of fine displays.
Klopp, however, has no reservations over the
captaincy role upon Henderson’s return from
injury, as he has said that the former Sunderland
man is without doubt a leader.
“I did not have one second of a doubt about this.
I met him [Henderson] and he is absolutely a
leader. He’s in a good way at the moment and
we all hope he’s back in a few weeks,” Klopp
told The Sun .
Liverpool’s form without their captain started
poorly but soon began to pick up. Including
Brendan Rodgers’ final days as manager and
now under Klopp, the Reds are 12 games
unbeaten in all competitions.
However, the Reds have at times looked
unbalanced in midfield and Henderson brings
more to the table than just leadership skills and
experience – Liverpool have missed his energy
through the middle.

The 25-year-old is tailor-made for a Jurgen Klopp
team who likes to go on the front foot, pressure
their opponents high up the pitch and swarm
them out of possession.
With a busy festive period schedule not too far
away, Liverpool will need all the bodies they
have and Henderson’s presence during that time
will be key going in to the New Year.
Is Jordan Henderson the ideal captain for this
Liverpool team?
