Suspended Hendo to travel with team A three-match suspension will not stop Jordan Henderson from contributing to the Liverpool cause, with the midfielder set to travel to Norwich City with the squad for this weekends clash. The No.14 received a red card in stoppage time as the Reds successfully downed Manchester City last Sunday, with the referee penalising a sliding challenge on Samir Nasri in the closing seconds. After being sent off at Anfield, Henderson must now suffer the frustration of watching from the sidelines as his colleagues attempt to maintain their position at the Barclays Premier League summit. He will do it from the confines of the stadium, however, as Brendan Rodgers has explained why the 23-year-olds presence on a matchday can provide a benefit for the players eligible to compete. Jordan will still travel with the team, the manager revealed. Ive told him hes a vital member of the group. He might not be able to affect the next three games on the field but hes going to be very important for our changing room, our travelling and our hotels because hes very much a part of us. Well lose him on the field but we cant lose his personality off the field as well, which is why hell still travel and be a part of what were doing.
