Klopp makes an exception to explain the Henderson decision

Jurgen Klopp explained his decision to put Jordan Henderson at rest in the Champions League clash Wednesday after being questioned at Friday's press conference.

Henderson was on the bench in Barcelona, ​​but Naby Keita was injured by an injury that will prevent him for the rest of the season.

Klopp was questioned on his captain on Friday, just before the shock of Saturday night against Newcastle. He said: "Your question immediately concerns the idea that Newcastle is not as important as Barcelona.

"Because Hendo has played five straight games, an exceptional form. Usually, I do not like to explain such things, but I do it once.

"Five consecutive games, the only one in the middle to do it. And three games in six days were coming.

"So it's clear that Hendo can not play these three games – so tell me which is the most important?

"I am the friend of the players, but not their best friend. So, I can not make decisions because of 'It's a great game so you can have this and an image', all that. "
