Kenny ready to recall Henderson

LIVERPOOL midfielder Jordan Henderson could be given a second chance to impress quicker than he may have expected as manager Kenny Dalglish contemplates his recall.

The England Under-21 international was dropped to the bench for the Reds’ biggest two matches of the season — the trip to Everton and the visit of Manchester United — in the last fortnight.

After a less-than-comfortable start to life at Anfield following a £16million summer move from Sunderland the youngster was taken out of the firing line by Dalglish, although the 21-year-old was brought on in both games.

Lucas Leiva serves a one-match suspension for the visit of Norwich today having already accumulated five yellow cards and that gives Henderson a chance to reclaim his starting place.

Despite being the first of the summer signings to score for his new club at the end of August, Henderson has yet to find his feet — and a position which suits.

Even Dalglish admits he does not know where to play him but he gave a glimpse of his true potential in an eventful 30-minute cameo against United with one dipping volley acrobatically saved by David de Gea and a glancing header just over, with both coming from an advanced central position.

“I don’t know his best position yet — but I know his best club and that’s this one,” said Dalglish.

“We just want him to play and enjoy playing. He’s a talented footballer with a great future in front of him and we are just delighted he chose to come here.

“He’ll be here for a long, long time and he’s going to be a tremendous asset for us. He’s got patience too.

“He’s another option for us in midfield this weekend. I’ve just got to make the right decision.”

Henderson added: “I am not really fussed about where I play, I just want to play football and wherever I’m put I’ll play — but obviously I like to play in the middle.”

Norwich manager Paul Lambert insists his side will “give it a go” at Liverpool in tomorrow’s late kick-off just as they did at Chelsea and Manchester United.

The Canaries lost 3-1 at Stamford Bridge and 2-0 at Old Trafford, but have picked up 11 points from their other six games to sit ninth in the Premier League.

“We’re not going up there with any trepidation or fear. We are going there to try to win a game the way we did at Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford. Yeah we got beaten, but we went and gave it a go and we will give this one a go as well.”

Norwich will look to in-form Anthony Pilkington to add to the two goals he scored in last week’s 3-1 against Swansea.

The former Ireland U21 international missed two glorious chances at Old Trafford but showed why the Canaries paid Huddersfield £2m for him in the summer by bouncing back against the Swans.
