Resurgent Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is relishing the prospect of leading the side into Saturday's Premier League Asia Trophy final with Leicester City in Hong Kong.

The Reds midfielder missed the last four months of last season due to a foot injury but has proved his fitness this summer.

Henderson has featured in all of the friendlies so far and insists he's pain free as he bids to get his Liverpool career back on track after a difficult spell.

“I feel stronger every training session, every game, so hopefully I can keep progressing, keep working hard and then come first game of the season, hopefully I'm right back to full fitness,” Henderson said.

“I haven't had to manage it. I've trained every day since I've been back, totally fine.

“Obviously, I've been tired at times but that's pre-season. Everybody is I'm sure.

“I'm really enjoying just being back. I couldn't be happier to just be training here, working really hard and, obviously, just playing games.

“Hopefully I can just be injury-free and we have a successful season as a team.”

Henderson was speaking after training at the Mong Kok Stadium in Hong Kong.

Jurgen Klopp was delighted with the skipper's contribution to the midweek win over Crystal Palace but the England international insists there's plenty more to come.

“It's tough conditions but you feel good afterwards because you've worked hard and I'm sure we'll be better off for it,” he added.

“I know that I can do a lot better. I know I can improve on a lot more things. For me, it's just about working as hard as I possibly can and then doing the best I can for the team and what the manager needs us to do.

“I've had good moments in the games so far, but not so good moments too.

“I think I'm just easing my way back from being out for a decent period of time. I feel good. Probably the best I felt was in the game the other night. I'm getting more and more confident each time I play.”

Teenagers Ben Woodburn and Trent Alexander-Arnold have both caught the eye on tour so far and Henderson hasn't been surprised after the progress they made last term.

“They came on a lot last season, just training with the first team and working with the manager,” he said.

“It's helped them a lot. I think you can see the confidence since they've come back from the summer.

“They're straight back into it, they've obviously done a bit of work over the summer because they've been really good in training.

“Their confidence is very high so hopefully they can keep doing what they've been doing and I'm sure they will be given an opportunity to show the manager what can do.”
