Mohamed Salah has asked Liverpool supporters to recognise the contribution of Jordan Henderson during his farewell match against Brentford on the final day of the season.
Salah will say goodbye to Anfield after nine glorious years with the Reds, on a day which will also see the Liverpool crowd salute Andy Robertson.
But while the two departing legends will be the focus from the stands, Salah has sat down for an interview with Steven Gerrard, in which he requests that Henderson finally gets his moment having left in a rush in 2023.

Salah wants overdue Henderson farewell
After 12 brilliant years with Liverpool, eight of them as captain, it was a shame to see Henderson leave out of the back door three years ago.
An excellent captain and ambassador for the club, his somewhat controversial exit to Saudi Arabia left a bitter taste in the mouth.
May’s clash with Brentford will be his first time back at Anfield as a visiting player, and it is fitting that it comes on the occasion of Salah and his good friend Robertson’s goodbye.
If Salah gets his wish, Henderson will also receive some attention, with the Egyptian using his interview with Gerrard on TNT Sports to ask for some help from supporters.

“One thing I’d really like to mention and there is no better place to mention than with you. I think the last game of the season against Brentford, the people in the city know how much it meant to Hendo also,” Salah said.
“Being captain of the club for 12 years, more than me, more than Virg [van Dijk], more than Robbo, more than anyone. He didn’t get the send off or farewell that he deserves because he left immediately.”

“I don’t know the club will manage it, I have no plan and I don’t know how the supporters will manage it, but I really wish they do something special for him, because he’s been one of the best players in this club and without him, I’ve been there in the dressing room, without him we wouldn’t achieve what we achieved.
“So, I really hope that the fans will give a good send off. He’s going to be there. I really wish the club could do something for him and the fans also can do something special for him, because this is Liverpool and we do it this way.”
Ordinarily, there would be little chance of the club itself honouring a former player in such circumstances, but, whatever the nature of his exit, Henderson deserved his moment with the Kop, and with Salah yielding the influence he does, it would be no surprise to see the Brentford man take centre stage at some point during the day.
