Unfortunate injury news for Liverpool as two key players set to miss West Ham clash

Not what Liverpool or their German coach need.

The Reds are seeking to build momentum with their third Premier League win, on Saturday, but look set to do it without a host of key men. Jurgen Klopp had already consigned himself to being without Divock Origi and James Milner while Joe Allen was always a doubt. This afternoon, the Liverpool squad headed south, to London, without Daniel Sturridge and Jordan Henderson. The injury-plagued Sturridge is training with the senior squad but Klopp wants to wait until the striker is fully fit before pitching him back into action. Henderson is struggling with a heel issue. Following the 1-0 win over Sunderland Klopp told reporters he was not sure if his club captain would be fit for the Hammers. "We have to wait a little bit because it was something with the heel," Klopp commented. "But it could be good for him, we hope... something like the final pain then it goes in a better direction for him." Klopp continued, "Everyone knows Hendo is a really tough guy and yesterday he tried. "Then I saw, 'Come on, let's change, we have a fully recovered Lucas on the bench, so we can change,' and that's what we did. Now we have to wait a few hours more or a day and then we'll know more." The German appears to be erring on the side of caution with both players ahead of a pivotal five months.
