Martin Skrtel pleased to have Jordan Henderson, Philippe Coutinho back for Liverpool

Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel declares his delight at having Philippe Coutinho and Jordan Henderson back in the side.

Martin Skrtel has declared his delight at the return to fitness of both Philippe Coutinho and Jordan Henderson for Liverpool.

Henderson made his first start under Jurgen Klopp in Thursday's goalless draw with Sion in the Europa League having been out since August with a heel problem.

Brazilian playmaker Coutinho also returned after a recent hamstring injury, and Skrtel is pleased to have the influential duo back in the side.

The defender told the club's official website: "It's good news for us because both of them are very important players for us.

"Hendo was out of the team for such a long time, so it's good to have him back. The same for Philippe; he was in good form before the injury. We're happy they're back and they'll definitely help us.

"They've shown their quality so many times. I hope they can put their injuries behind them, stay fit and we see more of them on the pitch."

Liverpool host West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.
