Liverpool team news: Captain out for three games, star striker injured but Emre Can ready ahead of Everton derby
Liverpool will be without team captain Jordan Henderson for the Merseyside derby against Everton.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp revealed that Henderson will be out for at least the next week as he continues to recover from a foot injury.
Klopp told his pre-derby press conference: “Jordan has unfortunately had a little setback, he’s not in team training up til now, that’s how it is.
“I can’t say in this moment how long – hopefully not too long. Yes I know when we were here last time I said I hoped he would be in training in this week but he wasn’t.
“So next week looks like this too, so we have to wait for this.”
