Jordan Henderson will miss Liverpool's Boxing Day Premier League game with Swansea City due to a hamstring injury.

The midfielder required extensive treatment during Liverpool's thrilling 3-3 draw with Arsenal on Friday night and was taken off just shy of the 10-minute mark.

Henderson, 27, was replaced by James Milner who captained the side for the rest of the game.
