Sturridge and Henderson stay on Merseyside

Sturridge and Henderson stay on Merseyside

The Liverpool Echo are reporting that neither Daniel Sturridge nor Jordan Henderson will make the trip to London for tomorrow’s clash with West Ham at Upton Park.

Jurgen Klopp recently hinted that Sturridge might be ready for the weekend after a five – layoff with a hamstring injury. However, patience remains the keyword with the oft-injured striker.

Sturridge continued training today at Melwood, continuing his own personal pre-season.

Since hobbling off the pitch in the last match against Sunderland, Henderson was always doubtful.

The Echo claim that he aggravated the plantar fasciitis heel trouble, which has caused him to already miss much of this season. The extent of the damage has not been revealed.

The captain was absent from training, along with Divock Origi and James Milner, also ruled out for Saturday.

Meanwhile, Jon Flanagan continued his long return to action by leading the team out for today’s training session, which also happens to be the local lad’s birthday.

The 23-year-old full-back recently played 30 minutes for Liverpool Under-21s against Fleetwood, as part of his recovery program to regain full fitness after missing more than a year through a series of knee problems.
