Jordan Henderson has a "little back problem" -- but not a "long-term problem"

Jordan Henderson was a absentee in Liverpool training on Tuesday, with Klopp confirming the captain was saddled with an injury in cardiff.

The captain started in a strong XI team, he faced the Championship side on Sunday and was hit hard in a powerful challenge where he lay on the turf for a while.

Henderson continued to play for 78 minutes before being replaced by Thiago and his ability to play Leicester city was in doubt.

Klopp had the luxury of choice, which meant that if it wasn't for 100% Jiankang, Henderson wouldn't need to be forced to play.

"Hendot has a bit of a back problem and Sadio wasn't there," Klopp said of his team. "But neither of these issues is long-term, so that's fine."

Mane will return to Liverpool on Wednesday night to add more firepower to the attack and will bring another option to Klopp.
