Liverpool captaincy not decided – Henderson

Jordan Henderson is not convinced he will necessarily succeed Steven Gerrard as Liverpool captain next season.

Long-serving midfielder Gerrard is due to depart for LA Galaxy at the end of the campaign, and vice-captain Henderson has assumed the skipper’s armband at times this season with Gerrard out injured.

While the former Sunderland man is considered the favourite to succeed Gerrard, Henderson maintains he is not taking anything as given.

“Next season we’ll see what happens because it might not be me succeeding Stevie, it might be someone else,” Henderson said.

“There are a lot of strong leaders in the dressing room. There are a lot of big characters in the team – down to earth, humble people.”

Brendan Rodgers’ men remain in contention for a top-four finish despite a dismal start to their Premier League campaign – having run Manchester City close for the title last term.

“The thing I’ve probably learnt most from Stevie is the way he overcomes the disappointments. I think that defines you more than anything,” Henderson added.
