Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has dismissed initial claims that his heel injury is “incurable,” telling The Sunday Times he has “no fears” about making a recovery to play an important role for Jurgen Klopp.
Henderson, 25, was promoted to Anfield skipper in July by Brendan Rodgers following Steven Gerrard’s departure to LA Galaxy but only returned to action in late November after aggravating a heel injury in August and then breaking his foot during training the following month.
The England international has consulted a number of medical experts including the Boston Red Sox, Royal Ballet and the Australian cricket team as his injury — plantar fasciitis — is similar to the problem suffered by dancers and fast bowlers.
Henderson told The Guardian last weekend that “there isn’t a timescale, there isn’t really a cure” regarding the condition, but has now clarified those remarks to suggest the injury will not be a career-long problem.
