Jurgen Klopp has ruled Jordan Henderson out of the Leicester City game on Sunday.

The Reds captain was withdrawn from international duty on Tuesday after an injury scare on Sunday which prevented him from staying for the second half of the Three Lions Nations League fixture with Belgium after a 2-0 defeat.

Henderson, according to Gareth Southgate felt a ‘bit of tightness’ and will miss the Foxes visit to Anfield on Sunday.

Klopp also disclosed that Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara will be assessed ahead of the game before making any decision on their return.

Thiago’s injury situation occurred in the Merseyside derby and is yet to play again having already missed six games for the Reds including Champions League matches involving Ajax, FC Midtjylland and Atalanta.
