Liverpool team news: Klopp receives massive injury boost, Emre Can faces uncertainty ahead of Everton derby
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was given an injury boost after receiving news that Jordan Henderson is nearing a recovery according to the Echo.
The Reds midfielder has missed the last month due to a foot injury but is targeting a return ahead of the Merseyside derby against Everton next week.
Per the source, Henderson will increase his workload over the next five days to demonstrate he is capable of coming back into the fold ahead of the derby.
Henderson was part of the Reds side that travelled to Tenerife for a warm weather training camp last week.
