Liverpool vs Leicester: What has been said?

Klopp speaking to Liverpool’s website on Henderson’s departure: “In the moment, it is absolutely fine but it was already ongoing for a while now, so we had time to adapt to it and get used to it.

“It is football, it is life, it is normal, these kind of things happen. Monday when we arrived back in Liverpool, Hendo was waiting for us to say goodbye properly to the team and to the coaching staff as well, so that was a really nice gesture – a really nice thing to do.

“I know it was a really, really tough decision for Hendo and I was around or with him all the way.

“It’s sad, absolutely strange, because he is the only captain I had here at Liverpool, but I think it is exciting for him as well.

“We will miss him, without a shadow of a doubt, that’s clear – as a man and as a player. But, as I said, that’s football.”
