Klopp falls out with Henderson

Tension now appears to be building up in Liverpool's dressing room, with Klopp reportedly not on good terms with Henderson.

The Mirror reports that there are rumours the German tactician recently had a spat with his skipper.

It is understood that this is not the first time duo has had a spat, with the publication reporting the two have previously differed.

Their fallout came to the fore over the weekend after Klopp dropped Henderson to the bench during their Premier League trip to Nottingham Forest, where they suffered a loss to the bottom-placed team.

Man United legend Paul Scholes took issue with the move and told Premier League Productions:

"He has Jordan Henderson on the bench, he should be playing. He is the leader of the team. He's the captain and the one, the Casemiro type of role, and he gets everyone ticking around."

Klopp blames Van Dijk for Nottingham loss

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Jurgen Klopp was not a happy man, after his Liverpool side were condemned to a shock defeat away to bottom club Nottingham Forest.

Klopp singled out Virgil Van Dijk and Robert Firmino for missing easy chances as the Reds tried to mount a comeback.

Liverpool were stunned away at Forest, putting an end to their mini-revival after two straight 1-0 wins over Manchester City and West Ham this past week.
