Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy has criticised Jurgen Klopp for his continued benching of Jordan Henderson.

The German coach is coming in for a great deal of criticism this season.

The Reds are struggling in the Premier League, currently mid-table, and they are also out of two domestic cup competitions.

“I'm still surprised that every time I see a Liverpool team sheet," Murphy told talkSPORT of captain Henderson.

“I don't see them train, but I don't care how he is training, Henderson plays every game for me, still.

“He is the heartbeat of the midfield, he's still got the legs to do it, and for some reason, he [Klopp] keeps leaving him out.

“I know Fabinho has had a tough time, but when you've got players who have done two or three years of brilliant seasons for you, being consistent, allow them to go through their bad spell and put them back in."
