Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has provided an update on captain Jordan Henderson's back injury ahead of Sunday's Premier League tie at Burnley.
The 31-year-old missed a 2-0 win over Leicester City at Anfield on Thursday after injuring his back in the process at the end of a heavy challenge in last weekend's FA Cup game against Cardiff.
There was some positive news though as Klopp confirmed in his pre-match press conference on Friday that he expects the midfielder to return to the game at Turf Moor.
"Hendo, yes, will definitely be back.
"That's the plan, that was the plan before the game and there's the plan now. If nothing happens, he'll play on Sunday.
There was some further impetus in the context of Henderson's recovery on Friday when Liverpool's official Twitter account posted a picture of the player on grass training.

For the first time in a very long time, Klopp has a full squad at his disposal with Sadio Mane now back from his AFCON duties.
