# Liverpool: Fans speculate over James Pearce injury update on Jordan Henderson

**Jordan Henderson picked up an injury [against Brighton](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53283275) last night and was forced off the pitch in the 80th minute.**

The skipper scored Liverpool’s second goal of the evening, which puts him on four for the season so far (via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jordan-henderson/leistungsdaten/spieler/61651)). His performance helped steer the Reds to another win, which sees them just eight points away from finishing the campaign as centurions.

However, some Liverpool fans are worrying over the severity of his injury and are wondering whether he will be available for the remainder of the season. [James Pearce has relayed](https://twitter.com/JamesPearceLFC/status/1280982437116461056) Jurgen Klopp’s comments on the incident, as the manager admitted that he knows “it will not be nothing”.

One supporter has replied to Pearce’s update saying: “If he’d bought Fekir when he was available we wouldn’t be having these problems”. The comment is perhaps a tongue-in-cheek jibe at Liverpool’s failed move for Nabil Fekir back in 2018. The Reds were [strongly linked to the French playmaker](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/jun/07/liverpool-set-to-complete-signing-nabil-fekir-lyon) and, if he would have signed, he could have been providing cover and rotation for key midfield players.
