Jordan Henderson sends message to Luis Suarez ahead of Liverpool reunion

Jordan Henderson has spoken out about playing both alongside and against Luis Suarez ahead of the Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid clash. Henderson has revealed that he is still in contact with his former teammate and believes fans will welcome the Uruguayan well ahead of his return to Anfield.
"He provides a lot of challenges. I think we all know he is a top player for a long time,Henderson told reporters.   "He produced so many good moments at Liverpool and I learnt a lot from him when he was here.   "I'm quite close to him and speak to him now and again. Not that often to be honest but now and again, to see how he's doing and how his family are doing and things like that but not all the time.   "He's a world class player and causes a lot of problems for defences. He's always in and around the goal and if he gets a chance, I'm sure he'll take it.   "We've got to be on our guard with him, not only him. They've got world class players all over but Luis is certainly a top striker and will cause any team problems."
Then The Reds' man continued adding.
"I think when Luis was here he was phenomenal for a number of years. He was outstanding and I think the fans know and the fans will appreciate that and what he did at this football club.   "I don't think Luis will be too bothered but after the game it would be nice. Maybe not during the game but after the game it would be nice for him to get a good reception from the crowd."
The 31-year-old captain has also pinpointed what he learnt from the striker during their time as teammates.
"I took a lot, I think he helped us a lot when he was at Liverpool," he said. "Mentality side of it, how he was in training. He always wanted to win.   "He played through things that he played through in terms of pain barriers and things like that. He just wanted to get out, play football and do his best for the team.   "I took a lot from him when he was here. I think he helped me massively. Made me grow in confidence as a player. I had a good relationship off the pitch but on it as well."
