Brendan Rodgers believes Jordan Henderson will still play a vital role in his sides title push, even though the Englishman will miss three of the remaining four games after he was sent of in the dying seconds of Liverpool's crucial win against Man City last week. Rodgers added, that the bright prospect, Henderson, is a huge character in the changing room, and Henderson will be traveling with the team for their games against Chelsea, Crystal Palace and this weekend against Norwich.
“Jordan will still travel with the team. I’ve told him he’s a vital member of the group and he might not be able to effect the next three games on the field but he’s going to be very important for our changing room, our travelling and our hotels because he’s very much a part of us.”
"He’s such an honest guy and he actually got the ball first," added Rodgers. “But we’ve spoken about it and he understands the reasons why he got sent off which was really unfortunate.”
“The players coming in will be fine. They’ve been preparing and it will be testament to their professionalism,” he said.
“I’ve said all along that the hardest part of my job is seeing 21 players being absolutely brilliant for me in training every day, the work and intensity that they put in and their professionalism is incredible, but I can only start 11 of them and pick a squad of 18.
“But I’ve said to them all along that the reasons why you stay professional and keep super fit is that your chance will come and however it may come you’ve got to be ready.”
