Jürgen Klopp's reaction to Henderson injury against Ajax

Darwin Nunez was Liverpool's big signing in the summer transfer window. He was signed for an initial fee of $78 million, with an additional $25 million in incentives. For that kind of money, a lot was expected of him. People expected a lot of goals, but it didn't happen from the start, and many questioned his signing.

One of the best players on the pitch was captain Jordan Henderson, who was the man to shine in the team's first goal scored by Mohamed Salah, providing a spectacular assist to leave the Egyptian alone in front of the goalkeeper. Here's what Klopp had to say about it: "The first goal, the overview of Hendo was exceptional. The second goal was a great cross and the whole situation how Darwin takes on pretty much everybody. And then Harvey crowns his really good performance with a sensational finish".

Hendo's injury is not serious

On the knock he received in the second half that forced Henderson to leave the pitch and be substituted, the German coach had this to say: "Is Jordan Henderson OK? I think so, I was worried as well because it was in front of me. Knee on knee is so painful, it's a bruise but as far as I know now nothing else."
