Henderson desperate to play in Europa League final

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is progressing well from his knee injury and could feature in the Europa League final against Sevilla.

Jordan Henderson is pushing to be fit for Liverpool's Europa League final clash against Sevilla.

The club captain's season appeared to be over after he damaged knee ligaments in the first leg of Liverpool's thrilling quarterfinal triumph over Borussia Dortmund.

But England midfielder Henderson has progressed better than expected in his rehabilitation and, although Sunday's concluding Premier League match at West Brom comes too soon for him, he is hoping to play a part in Basel against a Sevilla side pushing for an unprecedented third consecutive Europa League crown.
