Some Liverpool fans have been reacting on social media after Jordan Henderson returned to training ahead of the Reds’ Premier League clash with Manchester City.

The 55-cap England international had been forced to sit out Liverpool’s Champions League win over KRC Genk during the week through illness, having been sent home by the club’s medical staff at the ground.

Henderson has now returned to take up a full participation in the Reds’ pre-Man City sessions at their Melwood facilities, and is expected to start when Pep Guardiola’s Sky Blues arrive at Anfield on Sunday looking to reduce the deficit at the top of the table, according to The Times.

The £140,000-per-week midfielder’s return is seen to be a positive update for Jurgen Klopp, who confirmed Henderson’s availability on Friday at his pre-game press conference, along with adding that Virgil van Dijk is fit to play after missing training on Thursday.

Some Liverpool supporters are not reacting in a positive voice to The Times’ suggestion that Henderson will start on Sunday, as a few appear keen to see the Three Lions man’s place taken by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Henderson has started eight of his ten Premier League appearances this season, only sitting out the Reds’ 3-1 win over Newcastle United in September.

Oxlade-Chamberlain, meanwhile, scored against Genk on Tuesday night, as he rippled the back of the net for the second time in a week after riffling home against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup.
