Liverpool boss Klopp explains Henderson injury

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits Jordan Henderson suffered an ankle injury in their Champions League win over Bayern Munich.

The Reds' captain was forced off 13 minutes into his side's 3-1 win in the last-16 second leg at the Allianz Arena.

And, speaking post-match, Jürgen Klopp confirmed that Henderson sustained an ankle injury.

"It's a big night with a little shadow that is Hendo's twisted ankle," the boss said.

"It's Hendo so he's a hard one, but we have to see, of course. It looks hopefully not that serious but for tonight we had to change.

"That's always a bad sign for a game, when you have to change early. We trained with him there in that position - we wanted to, not to rest Fabinho, but we wanted to bring in fresh legs and Hendo had fresh legs but unfortunately that didn't help with the ankle."
