“Henderson and Grealish have returned to their respective clubs for further assessment on injuries”
“With Hendo, (it happened) within the game. There’s a precaution with both of them. We’ve scanned them. There is small injuries on the scans so we hope that they’re not going to miss too much football from here on."
“It shouldn’t be too bad in either case but we just have to see how that progresses.”
The fact the word precaution is mentioned would indicate this appears to be a short term issue.
It will be a race against time however to be fit for Saturday's Premier League clash with Arsenal.
The news will no doubt be a further worry for Jurgen Klopp who is also sweating on the fitness of Sadio Mane who picked up a knock in Senegal's clash with Togo.
