Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson will be available for the Reds’ Premier League meeting with Leeds after an injury scare in midweek, journalist James Pearce has confirmed.

The Lowdown: Thiago fit for Leeds game

Jurgen Klopp’s men host the Whites on Saturday evening, in what represents a hugely important game for both sides in their respective top-four and relegation battles.

Liverpool have been boosted by the news that Thiago is available for the match, having missed the defeat away to Nottingham Forest and victory at Ajax.

There is an added positive in the Reds’ midfield ahead of the game, too, following a fresh update.

The Latest: Henderson back

Writing on Twitter, The Athletic‘s Pearce confirmed the availability of Henderson and Thiago against Leeds, despite the skipper popping up as an injury concern after Ajax.

“Thiago fit to return, Henderson expected to be okay.”

The Verdict: Massive boost for Liverpool

This is great news for Liverpool, who have been so injury-riddled for much of the campaign, consistently missing a string of key players.

Henderson produced his best performance in a while against Ajax in the Champions League, providing a lovely assist for Mohamed Salah, and he will surely start again, potentially alongside Thiago.

The remaining midfield spot could then be taken by either the still-struggling-for-form Fabinho or the exciting Harvey Elliott, who is growing in stature all the time.
