Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says there is no added pressure on Jordan Henderson to perform at his very best.
The Reds captain came off the bench in the 64th minute of Sunday's 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion for his first appearance in over a month.
The midfielder had been sidelined with a knee injury and managed to get through close to half an hour of action at The Hawthorns but Klopp says there are no expectations as the Anfield outfit prepare to end their season with the Europa League final against Sevilla in Basel on Wednesday.
"I don't want to force the situation and say 'come on Hendo, try' but he didn't feel anything in the last few sessions so we wanted to try to give him 20 minutes - in the end it was half an hour," said the German.
Klopp made 11 changes to his Liverpool side with the European decider in midweek against the back-to-back winners taking top billing over the 'dead rubber' league fixture with the Baggies.
