Captain Jordan Henderson's return date is now set

It's not all bad news at Liverpool in the wake of a string of poor results and many doubts about the performance of German coach Jurgen Klopp's side. The light at the end of the tunnel is beginning to show and there is already a date for the return of captain Jordan Henderson, who was injured in the dramatic 2-1 win over Newcastle at Anfield on 31 August.

The 14th shirt asked for his substitution in the 71st minute of the rispido encounter due to a muscle problem and was replaced by fellow veteran James Milner. Afterwards at the press conference, Jürgen Klopp confirmed that the 32-year-old midfielder's problem was a hamstring problem and it was not known how long he would be out of action, adding to the team's long list of injured players.

This surprising injury forced Club to go in search of a last-minute reinforcement before the deadline deadline so after the match against Newcastle immediately phoned the 26-year-old Brazilian midfielder Arthur Melo who convinced to come to Anfield from Juventus in a session that will last until June 2023. The move was made with a view to filling the shortages in the middle of the park.
