Jurgen Klopp confirms Jordan Henderson decision as Liverpool captain to leave training camp

Jurgen Klopp confirms Jordan Henderson decision as Liverpool captain to leave training camp Jurgen Klopp has revealed that he excluded Jordan Henderson from the Liverpool squad due to the player's imminent departure from the club, marking one of the most notable transfers in Liverpool's history. Henderson, aged 33, was not part of the team that faced German second-tier side Karlsruher on Wednesday night, as the Reds have reached an agreement to sell their long-standing captain. The deal is set at £12 million with additional add-ons. The England international is expected to join Al-Ettifaq, where former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is now associated. However, the move is contingent on Henderson accepting the personal terms, which include an enticing three-year contract worth approximately £700,000 per week. Henderson is currently undecided about the potential move and has chosen to leave Liverpool's training camp in Germany to return home and carefully consider whether he wants to undergo such a significant life change. Klopp and Henderson share a strong relationship, and they have had discussions concerning the amount of playing time the player can expect in the upcoming season. Klopp made the decision to exclude Henderson from Wednesday's match just before news emerged about Liverpool accepting Al-Ettifaq's offer. In addition to Henderson's situation, another midfielder, Fabinho, is also on the verge of a transfer. Fabinho did not travel to Germany with the team and is nearing a £40 million move to Saudi side Al-Ittihad. It's worth noting that Al-Ittihad is one of the four clubs owned by the Public Investment Fund in the Saudi Pro League, but they are different from Al-Ettifaq, the potential destination for Henderson. Steven Gerrard, an iconic figure at Liverpool, has been eager to have Jordan Henderson's experience in his team as he begins a new chapter in his managerial career. The potential transfer would mark one of the most high-profile exits from the Premier League to Saudi Arabia. Another Saudi side, Al-Hilal, is showing interest in acquiring Liverpool forward Luis Diaz for a significant £50 million, but Liverpool has made it clear that they have no intention of selling the Colombian player. After Liverpool's 4-2 victory against Karlsruher, Jurgen Klopp chose to keep his plans private but did admit that he decided to leave Fabinho out of the trip and Henderson out of the match due to uncertainties surrounding their future with the club. "As long as things are not really finally decided, we don’t have to talk about it. There will be a moment where we probably have to talk about it, but it’s not now," he said. "I don’t know that anything is decided, which means nothing to say in the moment. "In the end, all of these decisions are made by me. "And because I respect the players a lot, it’s usually with consent. It was in this case, and it is all fine.” In the absence of Henderson and Fabinho, Trent Alexander-Arnold took on the role of the deepest lying midfielder in the starting lineup. Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister each played half of the match in more advanced midfield positions. During the game, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo scored goals for Liverpool, while Diogo Jota sealed the victory with a late brace, the second goal assisted by Mac Allister. "The work out was good. It was intense for the boys," said Klopp. "In the first half, I liked the start, but we became stiff and didn't play as good as we could. It's early days. "First half, the kids and Dom (Szoboszlai) were the best in pressing." The Hungarian had a great time during his inaugural Reds match and eagerly anticipates playing at Anfield for his new team. "A very proud moment for me and my family as well. Really looking forward to playing many, many more games," he said. "A dream is going to come true to play there (at Anfield) for Liverpool, not against them. I cannot wait." Liverpool is shifting their focus towards finding replacements for their central midfield, and one potential candidate is Crystal Palace's Cheikh Doucoure, a newcomer to their list of possibilities. However, Crystal Palace is likely to ask for a substantial transfer fee for the 23-year-old player.

Euro 2020 qualifiers and international football: 10 things to look out for | Football

1) Pressure on Dutch as entertaining foes meet again

Before October 2018, the Netherlands had not kicked a ball in anger against Germany for six years. When the teams walk out for the Group C qualifier in Hamburg, it will be the fourth time the fierce rivals have faced each other in 11 months. Not that neutrals should be complaining. There have been 12 goals in the two Nations League matches and one Euro 2020 qualifier that have been played since – and some scintillating football. Nico Schulz’s 90th-minute strike for Germany sealed a 3-2 victory in a pulsating qualifier at the Johan Cruyff Arena in March that left the Dutch on three points from two matches and facing a tricky game of catch-up to ensure automatic qualification. Northern Ireland’s flawless start has powered them to the top of Group C on 12 points and piled pressure on Ronald Koeman’s side, who will have to go on the attack at the Volksparkstadion. Expect another entertaining open game from two vibrant young sides. Gregg Bakowski

• Germany v Netherlands, 7.45pm (all times BST), Friday

2) Finland close in on their finest hour

Football has rarely been able to dent ice hockey’s primacy in Finland but Markku Kanerva’s team are on the verge of changing that. Over the next week they face two of the most important games in their history and, if at least one of Greece and Italy can be seen off in Tampere, a place at Euro 2020 should be within touching distance. They sit second in Group J, three points clear of Armenia and five in front of Greece and Bosnia-Herzegovina. It is a golden opportunity for a country that has only once come close to reaching a major tournament, when they fell just short of Euro 2008. Finland are formidable at home, they have not conceded in their last eight games, and in Norwich City’s Teemu Pukki they have one of Europe’s hottest centre-forwards. They may fancy their chances of toppling the injury-hit Italians, who will miss Lorenzo Insigne and Giorgio Chiellini and could be caught at the top when they meet on Sunday if all goes to plan. And if it unravels spectacularly? Finland would have the fallback of entering the play-offs, in that case, having been one of the winners in Nations League C. The opportunity that lies ahead could hardly be greater. Nick Ames

3) Romanian fledglings have chance to show they can fly

Romania had their most exciting footballing summer since 1994 thanks to the entertaining under-21 side that reached the semi-finals at the European Championships. Ianis Hagi, son of the legendary Gheorghe, was the star , earning a move to Genk, although Ajax were also linked to the playmaker. He is joined in Cosmin Contra’s squad to face Spain and Malta by six teammates from that under-21 squad, who became known for their attacking football as they defeated England and Croatia, and they will be given the chance to prove themselves at full international level against Spain in Bucharest. Whether Hagi can follow in his famous father’s footsteps is unknown but he can be as influential for this generation and their first test could be telling, not that they will be afraid. Will Unwin

4) Republic can take huge step towards qualifying against Swiss

Three wins and a draw from their first four matches have taken the Republic of Ireland top of Group D on 10 points and given them a big psychological advantage over third-placed Switzerland as they prepare to meet in Dublin. Vladimir Petkovic’s side are similarly unbeaten but have played only two games, a win over Georgia and a hugely deflating 3-3 draw with Denmark in which they let a three-goal lead slip in the final six minutes. This means Mick McCarthy’s side can open up a nine-point advantage over the only other realistic contenders for automatic qualification. McCarthy’s preparations have not been entirely smooth, however, with James McCarthy, Kieren Westwood, Matt Doherty and Sean Maguire withdrawing through injury. GB

5) Brighton’s Mac Allister looking to make his mark for Argentina

With Lionel Messi suspended from international football for his corruption comments during the Copa América, the Argentina manager, Lionel Scaloni, has drafted in seven upcapped players for the friendlies against Chile and Mexico, one of who is Alexis Mac Allister. The son of the former international Carlos Mac Allister – whose unusual name originates from his family roots in Fife, Scotland �� signed for Brighton last year, but work permit issues led to him being loaned to Boca Juniors this season. The 20-year-old plays alongside his older brother, Kevin Mac Allister, and scored this worldie winner in the Copa Libertadores on his first start for the club. Alexis’ international call-up is good news for Brighton – the diminutive central midfielder could secure a British work permit next season if he continues to be involved with Argentina. It will be interesting to see if he makes his debut on Friday against Chile, who are missing their own Alexis, with Sánchez still in Italy after completing his loan move to Inter. Michael Butler

6) McBurnie must show he cares by letting his feet do the talking

Scotland are in a curious position under Steve Clarke; the scars from that embarrassing defeat in Astana are yet to heal, but two paths remain open to qualify for Euro 2020, where they would be among the host nations. Clarke needs his squad to gel quickly, and said at his unveiling that his players need to be “100% committed”. In that context, Oli McBurnie’s gaffe this week was particularly unfortunate, with the Sheffield United striker caught on camera sounding less than thrilled at the prospect of an international break. It was a snippet taken from a light-hearted exchange and McBurnie has dealt with it maturely, addressing his teammates in private. Outside of his Twitter mentions, all is forgiven. Now would be a good time for the Yorkshireman to do his talking on the pitch and find a first international goal. Scotland welcome Russia and Belgium to Hampden in this round of fixtures – matches that will surely shape the group. Niall McVeigh

7) Japan drop experience for youth as Olympics near

This is an important time for Japan, who start their qualification campaign for the World Cup this month in Myanmar, but whose priority is to prepare for the Olympic Games at home next summer. With just three players aged over 23 permitted at Tokyo 2020, the head coach, Hajime Moriyasu, has opted for a young squad for the friendly against Paraguay, dropping Shinji Kagawa and Shinji Okazaki, both of whom this summer signed for clubs in the Spanish second tier. While Kagawa has impressed for Real Zaragoza, scoring against Ponferradina, Okazaki left Málaga on Tuesday after 34 days, without making an appearance. Japan’s investment in youth means much is expected of Takefusa Kubo, who impressed in pre-season at Real Madrid and has joined Mallorca on loan. Without Kagawa, the 18-year-old is, perhaps unfairly, the headline name in this burgeoning team. MB

8) Turkey mix experience and youth to propel team forward

Since the return of Senol Gunes for his second spell as Turkey head coach there has been an increasing focus on youth. Twenty of the players called up to face Andorra and Moldova are under the age of 25, including hot prospects Abdulkadir Omur of Trabzonspor and Besiktas striker Guven Yalcin. Despite this new focus, Gunes knows the importance of experience and the most capped player in the squad, captain Emre Belozoglu, will earn his 100th a few days shy of his 39th birthday. He is required to influence those flair players alongside him to give Turkey momentum from two supposedly simple qualifiers. Even if they fail to qualify this time around, there is greater hope for the Turkish national team than there has been for a while. WU

• Turkey v Andorra, 7.45pm, Saturday

9) Kosovo shorn of their star turns before England clash

Kosovo’s success story is well told by now and they will bounce into St Mary’s next Tuesday on the back of a 14-game unbeaten run, which included an eyecatching win in Bulgaria last time out. They are Europe’s youngest international team and, these days, a deadly serious one; anyone expecting an England walkover should think again but it is a shame they travel without their two biggest threats. Milot Rashica and Arber Zeneli are two of the most exciting wingers around but both are injured. Their absence dilutes a realistic chance of reaching Euro 2020 and Benjamin Kololli and Hekuran Kryeziu will miss out too. But Kosovo have other threats, such as the in-form Fenerbahce striker Vedat Muriqi and Swansea’s Bersant Celina, so if they can emerge from Saturday’s home tie with the Czech Republic unscathed then perhaps a shock in Southampton will be on.

10) Chad seek success after four-year sabbatical

How many matches do you think Chad’s senior team have contested since their last tilt at World Cup qualifying, which ended with a 4-0 defeat to Egypt in November 2015? One, is the answer, and that fixture has since been expunged from the records. They have not taken to the field since losing to Tanzania the following March, after which they withdrew from the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying competition on financial grounds, and were banned from the 2019 edition as a result. A squad of players based in France, Belgium, Niger, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Equatorial Guinea, Portugal, Indonesia and the local league will have had some catching up to do before facing Sudan in Thursday’s first-round, first leg qualifier for Qatar 2022 in N’Djamena. Thehe Frenchman Emmanuel Trégoat has returned as coach in the hope of leading them into a new era. Chad is far from the only country that has had sustained issues putting a football team out but it goes to show that international football is not something anyone should take for granted. NA

Facundo Medina speaks about Argentina team, Lionel Messi and Lens

Facundo Medina spoke about being called to the Argentina national team, playing alongside Lionel Messi and Lens.

Part of the U20 Argentina national team which took part in the World Cup last year in Poland, Medina was also U23 South American champion earlier this year. Still only 21 years old, the left back joined Lens in France from Talleres a few months ago. He has adapted well to life in France and Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni has included him in the squad for next month’s World Cup qualifiers. Speaking in an interview with ¿Cómo te va?, here’s what he had to say:

“Everything happened so far. I’m enjoying it for my family and I can’t wait to be training with the Argentina national team. I shared a team with many players from the Pan American Games. Nehuén Pérez, Nico González, El ‘Colifa’ Mac Allister (Alexis). More than just the quality of the group but the most important thing is the human quality.”

Regarding playing alongside Lionel Messi:

“I don’t want to think of when I’ll have Messi next to me. The guys from the squad here at Lens came and congratulated me and they started talking to me about him. I was lucky enough to be part of a sparring team but now to share a group with him is going to be very different. And the same thing with the other players.”

Medina also spoke about his new club Lens:

“I like how the football is played here. It’s very intense, back and forth. The group supported me from the first day. Some of the guys speak Spanish and they helped me a lot with the language too.”

Alexis Mac Allister of Brighton and others comment on Argentina Olympic qualifying

Alexis Mac Allister along with Fausto Vera, Tomas Belmonte and Hernan de la Fuente all commented on Argentina qualifying for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic games.

Mac Allister may not have scored in the 2-1 win vs. Colombia but he is the tournament’s top scorer. He has scored 4 goals in the Olympic qualifiers and has been one of the standout players for his team. Here’s what he had to say:

“It makes me very happy to start the year like this. Now we want to win all seven matches in the tournament.”

Fausto Vera with this:

“We are very happy for what we have achieved. Now to rest and to enjoy with the family. We have set out to win the match vs. Brazil. We knew that they (Colombia) had to win and we played a little with their desperation. Luckily we were able to have a good match.

Hernan de la Fuente:

“The second half against Colombia was an uphill but thank God we were able to get the result. We will play to win, to make history with this shirt. We will look at the match vs. Brazil like we did against every team.”
