Liverpool are waiting on the fitness of captain Jordan Henderson and Adam Lallana ahead of Saturday’s crunch Premier League clash with Manchester United.

Henderson has responded positively to treatment on the heel injury which forced him to miss the past two league games against Arsenal and West Ham.

However, the 25-year-old midfielder remains a doubt for the trip to Old Trafford and no decision will be made on his participation until later in the week.

Boss Brendan Rodgers is also hoping that Lallana is passed fit for duty after he was sidelined by a minor thigh problem picked up in the win over Bournemouth.

Both Henderson and Lallana were forced to declare themselves unavailable for England duty and remained at Melwood during the international break in order to undergo treatment,

Many of Rodgers’ squad who have been away on international duty reconvened at Melwood on Tuesday as the preparations got underway for the trip to Old Trafford.

England duo James Milner and Nathaniel Clyne, along with Slovakia’s Martin Skrtel, will report back for training on Wednesday.
