Henderson and Arthur won't face Everton

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Jordan Henderson and Arthur Melo won't face Everton tomorrow.



The Merseyside outfit have suffered numerous injuries during the early part of the season, and Henderson is the latest casualty.

The club captain suffered a hamstring injury against Newcastle United, and he has now been ruled out of the Merseyside derby.

Klopp confirmed the same in his pre-match press conference, and also revealed that Arthur won't be making his debut.

The Brazilian was a deadline-day signing from Juventus, and Klopp has revealed that he has yet to receive international clearance.

In the absence of Henderson and Arthur, James Milner could slot into the midfield alongside the likes of Fabinho and Harvey Elliott.

Fabio Carvalho had a terrific impact of the bench in midweek, scoring a dramatic 98th-minute winner, but may need to settle for a cameo.

Liverpool are currently two points adrift of the Champions League places, and will be hoping to break into the top four this weekend.
