Liverpool team news: Star midfielder Jordan Henderson misses training, Emre Can likely to feature against Man City

Liverpool continued preparations for their Premier League clash against Manchester City scheduled to go ahead on the weekend with a team training session on Wednesday 15 March.

Reds captain Jordan Henderson was not present at training and is not expected to feature against City due to a foot injury which has seen him miss the past three games.

Germany international of Turkish origin Emre Can is likely to keep his place in the team if Henderson does not recover in time.

Can scored the winning goal against Burnley last week and starred in the 3-1 victory over Arsenal the previous week.
