#3 Henderson conspicuous by his absence
Until he scored, Philippe Coutinho was doing the Mesut Ozil act. The Brazilian was on the same missing list as Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson, who, was legitimately absent through injury.
Henderson was left behind in Liverpool after sustaining a foot injury in training on Friday. The 26-year-old is very much the anchor of Klopp’s midfield, quickly retrieving possession and maintaining their trademark pressing game. His absence was felt as Liverpool’s midfield was easily overrun on numerous occasions by an energetic and passionate Leicester side.
The midfielder is also a doubt for Saturday’s clash against Arsenal in the Premier League.
