Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has reached out to Trent Alexander-Arnold after he was forced to withdraw from Euro 2020.

Reds fullback Alexander-Arnold injured his thigh in England's friendly against Austria last week.

Asked if he had spoken to Alexander-Arnold, Henderson told Sky Sports on Sunday: "Yeah, of course. Listen, Trent will be fine – he's a strong character.

"He's a young lad and he'll have many more tournaments ahead of him. Of course he's disappointed. I thought he'd done ever so well in the last few months of the season in terms of performance level. I think he's been outstanding. So he'll be disappointed.

"But I've told him to go and rest, recover and take his mind off football for a few weeks, then come back [in] pre-season ready to go again. And I'm sure he will."
