Liverpool have removed a picture of Jordan Henderson lifting the title from their training ground

Henderson penned a deal with Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq despite criticism over Saudi Arabian laws criminalising same-sex partnerships.

He was still called up by Gareth Southgate to the latest England squad and claimed he joined Al-Ettifaq after falling out of favour at Liverpool.

The Reds appear to be moving on after removing a photo of Henderson from their training base showing the midfielder lifting the 2019/20 Premier League title.

Henderson featured 30 times that season and captained the side as the Reds stormed to top spot.

The Liverpool Echo claims a large print-out of that memory has now been taken down at the club’s training ground.

A photo of 2019 Champions League champion Trent Alexander-Arnold has been placed in its place.

And it appears from the decision to switch photos that Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are eager to advance into a new era.

This summer, the German made FOUR central midfield signings.

This summer saw the arrival at Anfield of Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szbozslai, Wataru Endo, and Ryan Gravenberch.

They have settled into life well, with Liverpool second in the table after five wins in six games

As for Henderson, he’s already played six times for his new side and no player has registered more assists in the Saudi Pro League than Jordan Henderson.
