Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has cooled talk of Jordan Henderson being likened to Steven Gerrard.

Henderson has impressed in Gerrard's absence for the past six games.

"Jordan is a young guy who is a wonderful talent but he is a different type of player," said the Northern Irishman.

"Just because he takes a corner and Steven Gerrard takes a corner, or because he shoots from outside the box and so does Steven, it doesn't mean he is the new Steven Gerrard.

"He is Jordan Henderson and he is creating his own career and headlines."
