Jordan Henderson to Miss Leicester vs. Liverpool with Foot Injury

Liverpool will be without Jordan Henderson for the trip to Leicester City on Monday, and the midfielder could miss Saturday's match with Arsenal.

James Pearce of the Liverpool Echo relayed the news:

Pearce reported the 26-year-old suffered the injury in training on Friday and was subsequently sent for a scan, but it revealed his foot is heavily bruised, so he's not set to be out for a long period.

After the match against the Foxes, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp told reporters, "It looks like he will not be ready for Arsenal. That's how it looks but I'm not sure, we will see."

Emre Can seems the most likely candidate to replace him in midfield having sat out the Reds' 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on the bench.

The German has been in poor form of late, though, and Liverpool will miss Henderson's creativity, influence and work rate in the centre of the park.

Given Leicester's struggles, it may not have a significant impact on Monday, but if the Englishman fails to regain his fitness in time to play Arsenal, it could be costly.
