Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson has called on his team-mates to make a fast start to next season, believing the club's return to the top four must be used as a stepping stone for further success.
Henderson was absent from the run-in due to a foot injury and last played in the 2-0 win over Tottenham in February, but the England midfielder is expected to return from the start of next term.
Liverpool can qualify for the group stages of the Champions League for the first time in three seasons if they come through a play-off in August, after finishing fourth in the Premier League in the campaign just gone.
