Liverpool receive Jordan Henderson and Andy Robertson injury boost ahead of Atletico Madrid clash

David Lynch9 March 2020

Jordan Henderson will resume training on Sunday as he looks to put himself in contention for Liverpool’s crunch clash with Atletico Madrid.

The midfielder has been out of action since sustaining a hamstring injury in the first leg of the sides’ Champions League last-16 tie.

However, he could be back for the return fixture, which will see the Reds attempt to overturn a 1-0 aggregate deficit at Anfield.

Andy Robertson may also be available after missing Saturday’s 2-1 win over Bournemouth as a precautionary measure, according to Jurgen Klopp.

He said: “What I hear, it should be possible [for them to be available for Atletico]. If we then do it, I don’t know.

“Robbo should not be a problem; he only missed today pretty much.

“He finished the session yesterday after afterwards felt something, but it was then nothing in the end.

“Hendo was out, I don’t know exactly in this moment, but I think he will train tomorrow. If that looks good, I have to make decision.

“For sure [will be good to have him back] and some others as well.”
