The Russian champions are believed to have paid £11million for Lovren (Picture: Getty Images)Jurgen Klopp has hailed Dejan Lovren as a ‘Liverpool legend’ after the Premier League champions announced that the centre-back had joined Zenit St. Petersburg. The Croatia international spent six years at Anfield after joining from Southampton in 2014, making 185 appearances for the club and winning both the Premier League and Champions League. Although Lovren had to make do with a bit-part role during his final season with Liverpool, Klopp insists he will be sorely missed – particularly by Mohamed Salah. Lovren has to deal with plenty of criticism during his six years at Anfield (Picture: Getty)‘Another Liverpool legend who leaves the club, because he was absolutely a very, very important part of this team from the first day since I was in,’ Klopp told the club’s official website. ‘I remember when we played with Dortmund against Liverpool in the pre-season friendly and Dejan scored with a header with incredible power. That was the image I had in my mind when I came here and I thought about the defenders we had at the time. ‘He played super games and scored one of the most important goals of our history in the 4-3 against Borussia Dortmund; a really wonderful moment to share.

Yes, I think he will not like the Tottenham game when I took him off in the first half, but it is part of football and part of development – and he always came back. ‘When he was fit, he was very, very, very often in the team.

They were really close and that’s the thing, we will miss him. ‘He is a model athlete, has everything you need and now he goes to Russia, but he can come back always – he will be always welcome because he is a really nice guy.’ Liverpool are believed to have pocketed £11million from Lovren’s move to Zenit, despite only making 15 appearances in all competitions last season.

Jordan Henderson suffered a kick to the shin during Liverpool’s win over Leicester (Picture: Getty)Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is fit to face Wolves this weekend. Henderson was substituted in the 82nd minute of Liverpool’s 4-0 win over Leicester after taking a kick to the shin, with Adam Lallana coming on his place for the remainder of the Boxing Day clash. However, the midfielder returned to full training following the knock and is expected to feature when the runaway Premier League leaders play host to Wolves on Sunday afternoon. Klopp expects to have the same 18 players available that he selected at the King Power Stadium.

But it looks like they should be all fine.’ Asked whether Henderson is fit, Klopp replied: ‘Yeah – it’s only pain!’ Oxlade-Chamberlain is out with ankle ligament damage (Picture: Getty)Fabinho (ankle), Dejan Lovren (thigh), Joel Matip (knee) and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (ankle) all remain sidelined for Liverpool and has Klopp provided an update on the injured Liverpool quartet. ‘All positive but that again means unfortunately nothing in the first place because they should all be back in training [at the] latest by mid-January [but] how many games do we have until then, four or five? I’m not sure. So that’s a little bit of a problem but we have to see,’ he said. ‘Ox is walking around here without crutches, without a boot, but we have to wait until the medical department gives us the green light. ‘Joel is doing well, Fab is doing well, Dejan is doing well, so I would say in February we will have them all back. Until then, we have to see.’ MORE: UK New Year Honours list blunder sees 1,000 recipients' addresses publishedKlopp provides injury updates on Henderson, Fabinho, Lovren, Matip and Oxlade-ChamberlainDwight Yorke jets to the Maldives after Katie Price begs him to meet estranged son HarveyKlopp added: ‘Fresh legs are important but it’s not only about that – it’s about the quality we can involve in the game, the different quality the other players have, so there are a couple of things,’ he said. ‘When a team has rhythm and you play like we played against Leicester then you have three days, other teams have two days, can we play the same line-up again? ‘You just have to make decisions about the feeling you get at the start of training today, pretty much, because of the situation. If somebody is calling the Doc, then I have the problem pretty much so we just have to wait really. ‘In this period of the season, you have to come through somehow and so far it worked well but we need to be lucky for the rest of the season as well because the situation is not perfect in the moment.’ MORE: Dwight Yorke jets to the Maldives after Katie Price begs him to meet estranged son Harvey #AlexOxladeChamberlain #DejanLovren #JoelMatip

This article is part of Football FanCast’s Opinion series, which provides analysis, insight and opinion on any issue within the beautiful game, from Paul Pogba’s haircuts to League Two relegation battles… Joel Matip’s injury came at a bad time for Liverpool. The Cameroon international started seven of the first nine Premier League games of the season, with Liverpool winning all but one of those he featured in. However, he sustained an issue ahead of the match against Tottenham at Anfield, and he has not played a minute of football since. Jurgen Klopp will have been far from happy to have been forced into making a change to a winning team, especially considering that Dejan Lovren was the most senior alternative available to him. The 57-time Croatia international is not a popular figure amongst a portion of the club’s fanbase, whilst there have been questions asked as to whether the 30-year-old is good enough to appear for Liverpool on a regular basis. However, since he has come back into the side, he has proven his worth to the German manager. The Reds have won each of their last three Premier League games, with the latest coming against Manchester City. It may not have been the most swashbuckling of performances from the European champions, but their defensive display was almost flawless. The Citizens managed just three shots on target throughout the match – a big drop from their 7.2 per game average this term – and Lovren helped limit their attacking threat. Watch Liverpool Videos With StreamFootball.tv Below With former Schalke player Matip out of the side, the man who moved to Merseyside for £20m from Southampton in 2014 has grabbed his opportunity with two hands. And his return to the side completes an impressive comeback. In the summer, it looked as though he was on his way out of the door after talks were held between his representative and AC Milan. He has been ridiculed in the past, especially after he declared himself “one of the best defenders in the world“. Whilst he may not be at that level, the £18m-valued man – as per Transfermarkt – is arguably underrated. He has experience in three countries, and has appeared in both the Champions League and World Cup finals. That is something that must not be taken for granted. All in all, he deserves his chance at Anfield and, with Milan banging on the door once again (Tuttosport via The Daily Mail), he may just be convincing Klopp and co to do all they can to keep him. #JurgenKlopp #DejanLovren #JoelMatip
