Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has been left devastated by the news he will be sidelined for at least a month with a hamstring injury.

The England international limped off during the Reds' thrilling 3-3 draw with Arsenal at the Emirates last week and sat out the Boxing Day triumph over Swansea City.

A scan has now confirmed a grade two tear in his right hamstring which means he's unlikely to play again until February.

Henderson will miss the FA Cup third round tie with Everton as well as Premier League matches against Leicester City, Burnley, Manchester City, Swansea and Huddersfield.

It's a major blow for the 27-year-old, who will be forced to sit and watch as Liverpool look to extend a 14-game unbeaten run.

The Reds expect Henderson to be back fit prior to the resumption of their Champions League campaign against FC Porto in mid-February.

Jurgen Klopp does have other midfield options with Adam Lallana eyeing a first start of the season after getting 20 minutes under his belt against Swansea.

However, in the absence of Henderson, Klopp is expected to turn to Emre Can to play the holding role. The Germany international is likely to leave Liverpool when his contract expires next summer.

Can could sign a pre-contract agreement with a foreign club next week but Klopp has always insisted he will continue to pick the midfielder despite the uncertainty over his future.
