Jurgen Klopp believes Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is finally getting the wider credit his talent and dedication deserve.

The 28-year-old midfielder has been outstanding in England's march to their first World Cup semi-final since 1990.

Henderson has been unfairly derided by rival fans over the years but Klopp says the tournament in Russia has served to open the nation's eyes to his ability.

"Finally, they see Jordan Henderson," Klopp said.

"Before that maybe he was too easily overseen. Someone needs to do the work in the midfield like Hendo.

"But he's not only a work force, he's also a really good footballer. I am happy for him that he now gets at least a little bit of the light. It's well deserved."

Klopp is relishing the prospect of watching Henderson go head to head with clubmate Dejan Lovren when England face Croatia in Moscow.

"France are through so one team is clear," he added.

"Now one of the LFC players will go to the final with them - 100% I'll be watching."
