Liverpool will be preparing for their Champions League group match with Red Star Belgrade on Wednesday night.
Jurgen Klopp’s side will be looking to make it two wins from their first three games in the competition, having been beaten by a last minute goal against Napoli last time out.
The Premier League outfit will feel confident about getting a result at Anfield, having witnessed the Serbian outfit suffer a heavy defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, although they did hold the Italians to a goalless draw.
However, Klopp will be without two key men for the visit of Red Star as they look to get a foothold in the group.
Henderson picked up the problem during their victory against Huddersfield Town at the weekend, whilst Keita had sustained the issue whilst on international duty with Guinea.
Klopp did confirm that Sadio Mane, James Milner and Georginio Wijnaldum were all in contention to play after coming through their own injury concerns.
The Verdict:
The absence of Henderson and Keita will have come as a blow to Liverpool as they look to take a strong position in their Champions League group.
The Reds should be able to deal with the absences of Henderson and Keita, with Wijnaldum potentially making a return to the starting line-up, whilst Adam Lallana could also feature once again and Mane’s availability will be a huge boost to the side.
Although Klopp will not take the game against Red Star Belgrade lightly, there will be a degree of expectation that the English side records a positive result against their Serbian counterparts on Wednesday night.
