Jurgen Klopp believes the Liverpool captain's latest concern
is a positive one in providing relief from plantar fasciitis.
The midfielder’s condition is an ongoing one, however, it is
understood that a rupture of the tissue might eventually
alleviate the pain and Klopp is hoping that is the case
currently.
Henderson had to be replaced in the victory over Sunderland
due to the discomfort in his heel, and missed the weekend’s
defeat at West Ham.
He will also sit out Tuesday's League Cup test against
Stoke, with Liverpool hoping the skipper will be available
again shortly.
"We don’t really know," Klopp said when asked when the
England international could return.
"We have to wait each day, each hour, each minute because
the thing that happened with his tendon is painful, but it’s
good. We hope that when the blood is out of the foot then
the problem is solved.
"But in this moment there’s blood around the heel so it’s not
possible to train or to play. But we hope it’s not serious,
that we only have to wait because we cannot do more than
we are doing with the treatment to bring the blood out of the
foot. You cannot rush it."
In December, Henderson explained that the period of
recovery following such a rupture alters with every
individual.
"There is nothing set in stone for this injury. A lot of people
have said to keep having cortisone injections and eventually
it may just rupture and that might be the relief that is needed
but no one knows,” he said.
“It can vary. People have been out for months after a
rupture and others have been out for a week or two."
