Jurgen Klopp is confident that Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson 's ongoing heel problem won't put him back on the sidelines.

The Reds midfielder was out for a fortnight after limping off against Manchester City on New Year's Eve.

Henderson played through the pain barrier in the draw at Old Trafford and also featured in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Swansea City.

He missed three-and-a-half months of last season due to plantar fasciitis - a thickening of the band of tissue running underneath the sole of the foot.

However, Klopp says it isn't the same complaint and believes Liverpool can manage it.

Henderson is expected to be fit to lead the Reds in Wednesday night's EFL Cup semi-final second leg against Southampton at Anfield.

“It's similar but different,” he said.

“We know much more about it after last season. We don't train a lot between games in this period.

“Instead of running one day doing recovery with the other players who played 90 minutes, Hendo will be on the bike. The rest of the sessions he's available

“It's not the moment to feel nothing. He feels it a little bit but he can cope with it.”
