Speaking ahead of the derby next week, as quoted by Mirror UK, Klopp cuts in on the question relating to the Liverpool captain, claiming it is not a player problem but a team problem.
“I don’t understand why we are talking about one player. I mean it, he cuts in. “Everybody knows how much I respect him. I don’t like saying this, but it’s true, you are not able to deal with these kinds of things,”
“One player becomes the subject, ‘Henderson is this, Henderson is that’, Hendo is not our problem. Never was and never will be. When he is fit and in good shape, he played 98 per cent of the games we had,” he said.
