​Liverpool manager Klopp concerned about Henderson injury

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he is worried about the fitness of captain Jordan Henderson.

The club captain was withdrawn after 71 minutes in their 2-1 win over Newcastle United on Wednesday.

Henderson, who made a mistake that led to Newcastle's opener in the game, has not been in the best of form so far this season.

He had to come off due to a fitness concern.

Asked if his team would be signing a midfielder before the transfer window closes, Klopp replied to reporters: "I don't think so, but as long as there is time we should not close the door completely."

He added on Henderson: "Obviously Hendo is injured, he got a hamstring [injury], which is absolutely not helpful.

"I don't think so."

He added: "[It was] that serious that he couldn't carry on, so it was no tactical change."
