​Liverpool boss Klopp sweating on Henderson, Robertson for Arsenal clash

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admits that he has injury concerns surrounding Jordan Henderson and Andy Robertson.

The club captain and left back are both doubts as the Reds prepare to take on Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday.

"Robbo was lucky, we can probably say. It was a little bit DOMS, the intensity of all the games he played probably, rather than anything else," Klopp told the club's website on Thursday.

"He was smart enough to [make] the right decision, he went off early, which he usually is not doing. But in this case it was absolutely right, and so there's a good chance that he can be involved at the weekend.

"Hendo, a little bit more [injured] than Robbo but a chance for the weekend. So we are working on that. It's not a serious injury but in this short period of time we have to see if he is ready for Saturday. But after that, 100 per cent, and possibly for Arsenal as well."
