Jordan Henderson has spoken of his gratitude to Brendan Rodgers as he prepares to return to Anfield for the first time since leaving Liverpool in 2015.
The 46-year-old brings his Leicester City side to Merseyside for the Premier League encounter with the Reds this afternoon.
And ahead of the meeting, Henderson has detailed how Rodgers’ influence during his time as Liverpool boss helped develop him as a player.
He wrote in his column in the official matchday programme: “There is little room for sentiment in football and today I have no doubt at all that the manager in the away dugout will have as much desire to win here as we all have in looking to beat his side.
