Southgate admits injury concern for Liverpool captain Henderson

England manager Gareth Southgate confirmed Jordan Henderson was substituted during the Nations League clash against Belgium because of 'tightness'.

The Liverpool skipper was withdrawn at half-time in the 2-0 loss.

The news comes as a blow to Jurgen Klopp, who already lost Joe Gomez during the international break.

"Jordan had a bit of tightness at half time and felt he couldn't carry on," Southgate said.

"We'll have to assess him when we get back."
