Jurgen Klopp doesn't care if Jordan Henderson is England captain – but believes the midfielder is the right man to skipper Liverpool.

England boss Gareth Southgate is expected to choose between Henderson and Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane to lead the country in next summer's World Cup finals.

The duo have alternated duties during recent internationals, with Kane having taken the armband for the final two qualifiers against Slovenia and Lithuania.

Henderson and Kane will be in opposition on Sunday afternoon when Liverpool and Tottenham face off at Wembley in the Premier League.

And Klopp is only interested in praising how Henderson has followed in the footsteps of Steven Gerrard at Anfield.

“I'm not here to make a commercial for Jordan Henderson,” said the Liverpool boss.

“He is the captain here and that says everything about what I think about him.

“That's how it is and I'm not interested in England's captain.

“When I came here, Jordan was already the captain and after a few weeks I saw that made more than sense.

“Jordan is a very good guy. He is a serious professional person and he feels responsible for the club and the team.

“He has a lot of qualities and being captain after Steven Gerrard is not an easy job but he dealt with it and that makes him a very skilled guy.”
