Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson believes that Adam Lallana can play a holding midfield role for the club.

Lallana is hoping to reestablish himself in the team, after suffering injury problems last season.

However, he may find it difficult to get into the side in an attacking position, which is where his versatility may come into play.

"Adam has taken to that role really well in training and the games I've seen in pre-season," said Henderson to reporters of Lallana playing deeper in midfield.

"He's a fantastic footballer so he can play anywhere on the pitch really. He gives us something different in that position, the way that he receives the ball, he can get out of tight situations, he can open the play up for us and start the play really well.

"I'm excited to see what he can bring us in that position. He is enjoying it, he is learning and improving.

"I've learned that position over the last few seasons as best I can so I will try to help him as well as Fabinho, who does that role fantastically well. Adam will have his own style in that position and I'm excited to see what he can bring that position."
