Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita unlikely to be fit for Arsenal clash

Liverpool look likely to be without midfielders Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita when they face Arsenal on Saturday afternoon.

Henderson picked up a hamstring injury during the Reds’ 1-0 win at Huddersfield Town in mid-October, whilst Naby Keita also injured his hamstring whilst on international duty with Guinea

As of Wednesday, the duo had not returned to full training, which makes it highly unlikely that they’ll be fit enough to face the Gunners.

Jurgen Klopp will, therefore, need to choose three of Firmino, Adam Lallana, James Milner, Xherdan Shaqiri and Gini Winjnaldum to start in midfield for a clash that will be seen as a true marker of Liverpool’s title-winning chances.

Jurgen Klopp has used both the 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 formations in recent weeks and despite the two absentees, he should have enough options to allow him the choice of either set-up for the game at the Emirates on Saturday afternoon.
