Jurgen Klopp insists that reports of Jordan Henderson being out of action until March are "not true at all", but says it is difficult to predict when he will return.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted that he is unsure when Jordan Henderson will return from his injury layoff and will not pressure his skipper into making a swift comeback.

The England international picked up a fresh hamstring injury early on in the 3-3 draw with Arsenal last week, potentially ruling him out for the next four weeks.

Henderson has already been confirmed out for the upcoming games against Leicester City and Burnley, but Klopp is hopeful that the midfielder's latest spell on the sidelines will not drag on.

"It depends on the healing process and if the player is a quick healer or not. There are big differences between individuals," he told reporters. "Hendo starts running outside today; at which pace and whatever we will see, but he is in a good way.

"I don't want to say any date because on the one side it would maybe put pressure on him, which he really doesn't need, and on the other side it would look like we would not have the player for the next six to eight weeks and that's not true at all. We have to wait."

Henderson has started 15 Premier League games this season and featured a further six times in all competitions.
