Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits Jordan Henderson wasn't injured for his substitution in victory over Sheffield United.

The captain was changed for Divock Origi as the visitors chased a winner.

Klopp said, "No, it was an offensive change. We had the opportunity - either Hendo or Gini, both worked hard, for both it was not an easy game today. Obviously we made the right decision, Gini stayed on the pitch and scored!

"We wanted to change our approach, so we could have then Bobby finally between the lines but still an option in behind with Mo. We needed to defend the wings properly because they are there constantly, that's why we needed first Sadio and then Millie on that [right] wing.

"Div made a proper impact when he came on, it was really helpful that we could pass the ball there [for] the one-on-one situations and I think he crossed the ball before the goal as well. So, that was the reason."
