Jordan Henderson To Miss Liverpool FC’s Asia Tour

Jordan Henderson won't be travelling to the Far East with Liverpool on their pre-season tour.

The 21-year-old midfielder, who joined the Reds from Sunderland for £16million last month, has been given extra time to recover following his exploits with England at the Under-21 European Championships.

Henderson is due back at Melwood when Liverpool return from their eight-day tour of China and Malaysia.

Liverpool will fly off on Sunday without Henderson and skipper Steven Gerrard but all other first team stars - with the exception of Copa America duo Luis Suarez and Lucas Leiva - are expected to make the trip.

Goalkeeper Pepe Reina had a hernia operation during the close season but is set to travel to Asia.
