Klopp: Henderson will be fine for Euros image

Jordan Henderson and Diogo Jota raised hopes they will be fit and ready for Euro 2020 after being named in Liverpool's final squad of the 2020-21 season, with Jurgen Klopp revealing that he expects the England star to be more than ready for the Euros

Both Reds stars have been on the sidelines recently due to injury. 

But they have received a clean bill of health and were named to the squad for Sunday's win over Crystal Palace.

What did Klopp have to say?

 "He will be fine," Klopp told BBC regarding Henderson.

"I don't know if he will be in the squad but he is fine, he trained the last two days with us, he is fine.

"He can return to training as normal - he will be one of the few players in the squad who are fresh which is good news."

Back at Anfield

Henderson last featured for Liverpool in February, subsequently undergoing surgery on a groin injury. 

Jota, meanwhile, missed the Reds' last two games with a foot problem. 

As well as the Merseysiders, England and Portugal will also be happy to see them back in action. 

Gareth Southgate is scheduled to announce his squad for the European Championships on May 25, with Henderson expected to be among the call-ups. 

Portugal, meanwhile, revealed their own list this week, including Jota.
