Jordan Henderson is a major doubt for Liverpool’s Premier League clash with West Ham, according to the Evening Standard‘s David Lynch.
The Reds host the Hammers on Monday night and they’ll be looking to bounce back from their midweek loss to Atletico Madrid.
Henderson limped off in the second half at the Wanda Metropolitano, having suffered a hamstring injury.
The Liverpool skipper could now miss the West Ham game, as he faces a potential spell on the sidelines.

Henderson’s likely absence is an obvious blow to the Reds, considering the 29-year-old’s form this season.
He is seen as a front-runner to win the PFA Player of the Year award, not only leading Liverpool superbly but also contributing in the final third, scoring three goals and registering five assists.
I think this is a perfect opportunity for Naby Keita to shine, however, with the former RB Leipzig star having struggled to earn playing time this season.
The Guinean needs a run in the team to thrive, in my opinion, and he will bring more guile in the middle of the park.
Keita is averaging 1.8 dribbles per game this season, compared to 0.5 for Henderson and 1.3 for Gini Wijnaldum.
