Jordan Henderson is ready to carry on answering Liverpool’s injury SOS if it helps win the Club World Cup.
Against Monterrey, Henderson filled in for Virgil van Dijk at centre half, who was ill, and he is prepared to do the same against Flamengo in the final tomorrow.
Liverpool midfielder Henderson said: “It was different! I had fantastic players around me and they helped me out.
"When you have that quality around you, it makes it a little bit easier. It was different to anything that I have been used to.
“I’ve played at full-back but I’ve never played there before. I just tried to do my best for the team and thankfully we got the win in the end.
“I don’t know what will happen with Virgil on Saturday. Fingers crossed he will be OK. Of course, if the manager needed me to go there again, I would do it. It is anything to help the team.
“We are here – we wanted to come here, we wanted to get to the final and we want to win. We have done the first bit by getting to the final and now we want to win it. That’s the mentality of this team.
“We found a way to win again in the end. We are there, where we wanted to be, and hopefully we will find a way to win again on Saturday, too.”
