Liverpool sacked me over Henderson - Comolli

Jordan Henderson's initial struggles at Liverpool ultimately cost Damien Comolli his job as director of football, he has claimed.

Damien Comolli claimed he was ditched as Liverpool's director of football due to the signing of current club captain Jordan Henderson.

Henderson joined Liverpool from Sunderland in 2011 in a reported £16million deal after blossoming into one of the league's most sought-after young players, however, he made an unimpressive start to life at Anfield initially and found himself in and out of the team.

But Henderson went on to become Steven Gerrard's successor as captain and he also skippered England in Wayne Rooney's absence on Tuesday.
