Jordan Henderson in contention for Arsenal game?

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has reportedly been told that he is in contention to play against Arsenal on Monday night.

Reports earlier this week suggested that Henderson could be facing an extended spell on the sidelines after he was forced off in the second half of the 1-0 victory over Bournemouth.

According to The Mirror, the club's medical staff were concerned that he had cracked a bone in his foot, but the England international has been handed a boost after undergoing tests on Wednesday.

The decision about Henderson's participation in the trip to the Emirates Stadium could be left to the midfielder, who may be replaced in the starting lineup by Emre Can.

Liverpool have beaten Arsenal just once in the last eight competitive fixtures between the two sides.
