Liverpool strikes double blow as Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum dismiss West Ham dispute

Liverpool will not have midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson for their clash against West Ham.

Captain Henderson has a muscular problem in the last injury concern in a season of shutdowns.

Wijnaldum has a sore knee and was also out of the game. Fabinho and Naby Keita, summer rookies, are joined in the middle by Adam Lallana.

Liverpool will be without Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum against West Ham

The 30-year-old will only make his sixth appearance of the season, while James Milner will also return to the back for the visitors.

The absence of the two experienced midfielders is the last setback for Jurgen Klopp after defender Joe Gomez was forced to undergo surgery on his broken leg.

The young central defender should be present again this season, but he will miss crucial matches against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, as well as Manchester United and Everton.

A muscle injury to defender Dejan Lovren, as well as problems in the back-to-back fitness Trent Alexander-Arnold have left the light to Klopp in the back.

Joel Matip is the only central defender and partner of Virgil van Dijk against West Ham, with the young right-back Rafael Camacho on the bench.
