Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists it is only right injured captain Jordan Henderson lifts the Premier League trophy (John Walton/PA)Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists Jordan Henderson has to have the honour of lifting the Premier League trophy out of respect for his contribution to the club. The England midfielder’s season has been ended by a knee injury sustained in Wednesday’s win at Brighton, but he will not require surgery. @LFC manager Jurgen Klopp said @JHenderson's knee injury is the "best possible of all bad news" and the Reds captain will be present to lift the Premier League trophy at Anfield later this month. “We really thought – for the role he played the last years now – he deserves to be in that spot at that moment (when Liverpool lift the trophy). They all want him to be there and that was one of the first things I heard after we won the league.
