Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has been ruled out of the Merseyside derby away to Everton on Saturday due to a hamstring injury but forward Diogo Jota could return, manager Juergen Klopp said.

Henderson was forced off with the injury during the second half of their 2-1 win over Newcastle United on Wednesday, while Jota has had a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a thigh injury. "Nothing yet.

We are still waiting for the result," Klopp told reporters on Friday when asked about Henderson's fitness. "He is definitely out, he is injured, but the extent I don't know.

Diogo probably will be in as well, he trained yesterday with the team first time. He will train today. "I have to make a decision, does it make sense that we involve him already or not?
