Liverpool team news: Naby Keita and Jordan Henderson ruled out of Cardiff visit

Naby Keita and Jordan Henderson are unavailable for Liverpool’s meeting with Cardiff City on Saturday, Jurgen Klopp has confirmed.

Keita has not featured for the Reds since sustaining a hamstring injury while representing Guinea during the last international break.

Henderson, meanwhile, was substituted at half-time during last weekend’s 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town after feeling tightness in the same muscle.

The pair missed the midweek victory over Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League as a result of their problems, and Klopp has now revealed that they will also be unable to feature against Cardiff.

He said: “[It] will not work out for tomorrow, for sure. Both in a good way but will not be ready for that.

“I think that’s it pretty much, the rest should be - apart from [Alex] Oxlade-Chamberlain and [Rhian] Brewster - available.”

Liverpool are looking to beat Cardiff City for the fifth game on the trot when the two sides meet at Anfield on Saturday.
