Jurgen Klopp gives Liverpool injury update before Tottenham with midfielder set to miss out

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Jordan Henderson is available to face Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday but Liverpool will have to do without James Milner for the trip to the capital.

The Reds captain missed Tuesday's victory over Napoli, having only taken part in individual training the day before. Meanwhile, Milner was forced off early in the second half after taking a heavy blow to the head before the interval.

And offering an update on the pair, Klopp confirmed when the veteran will be back in training as he continues to follow concussion protocol.

"Henderson is available. Had a little thing but serious enough not to be involved in the last game," the German told reporters. "Millie is not available. When you go through concussion protocol, you're not available for the next game.

"You have to go through different stages. He's fine but that's how it is. Rightly. You have to go through different stages so he's available for non-contact training on Monday and full contact training on Tuesday if everything goes well. That's what we expect."
