Jurgen Klopp provides update on Jordan Henderson and other Liverpool injuries ahead of Leeds United visit

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has confirmed his side's team news ahead of Leeds United's visit.

The two sides lock horns in a mouth-watering Premier League opener on Saturday night (5.30pm).

The Reds, of course, sealed a first league title in 30 years in 2019-20.

They won the championship at a canter and welcome a side in Leeds who also lifted silverware, following the Whites' Championship success.

Speaking to the media in his pre-match press conference, Klopp has revealed the team news ahead of the Anfield clash.

He is leaving it as late as possible before deciding whether the likes of Jordan Henderson and Xherdan Shaqiri will be involved.

Skipper Henderson hasn't played since the win at Brighton last season when he picked up a knee injury. Swiss attacker Shaqiri has picked up a knock, of which no major detail has been given.

But Klopp remains hopeful the pair, along with new signing Konstantinos Tsimikas, will be ready for the Whites' visit.

"We've not decided yet," Klopp said when asked about the trio.

"They are all in training so we will make late decisions but it looks more promising than not.

"But we have, at the moment, a lot of players available. They've all come back now to training.

"Not all of them will be involved even if they could be."
