Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is delighted for Jordan Henderson after the Reds captain led England to the World Cup semis.

Henderson started once again for his country as they clinched a place in the last four of the tournament for the first time since 1990 courtesy of a 2-0 win over Sweden in Samara.

Klopp said: "I didn't see it today, but so far he's played a brilliant World Cup – very mature, a proper leader in the team and you can see it.

"Everyone can see this team is offensively really skilled, so you need a few serious people in the team to keep it all together and I like how he is doing that and is still involved in all the offensive things, set-pieces and all that stuff.

"He's played a few wonderful passes, controls the game."

Klopp also went on to pay tribute to Liverpool's other representative in the squad, Trent Alexander-Arnold, as well as the manager, Gareth Southgate.

He added: "I really like it that Trent got his first cap before the World Cup and then played in a [tournament] game – I've waited 51 years for that! He did really well.

"I am happy for the boys and I am happy for Gareth [Southgate] because he is doing a fantastic job, obviously.

"England and Belgium, who I have saw a lot, have both managers doing incredible jobs, really good tactical things. It's very interesting and I like it."
