Fabinho: We'll miss Hendo influence, but we have to step up without him

Henderson is facing a short-term spell on the treatment table after sustaining a hamstring injury during last week’s Champions League tie against Atletico Madrid in Spain.

An initial diagnosis of a three-week recovery period meant the captain sat out Monday’s win over West Ham United and could also be ruled out of selection for forthcoming clashes in the next fortnight, including the weekend trip to Watford.

Should that prove to be the case, Fabinho has outlined the physical and mental attributes that the Reds will miss from a player he believes has been one of the team’s most outstanding performers - and how he is aiming to compensate in terms of on-field leadership.
