As pre-season kicks into high gear at Liverpool, Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah wasted no time in playfully teasing their teammate and club captain, Jordan Henderson.

Excitement buzzes around the arrival of new midfielders Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, adding even more competition for Henderson to secure his place in the starting lineup.
Recent footage and images have surfaced, showcasing the England international’s impressive dedication to his physical preparation for the upcoming challenges.
So, what has Henderson done to gear up for pre-season? The 33-year-old has shared glimpses of his intense boxing training, illustrating his commitment to maintaining top form. It’s truly commendable to witness the captain utilizing his summer break to elevate his fitness levels.
Henderson posted on social media, captioning it with “Summer h̶o̶l̶i̶d̶a̶y̶ camp.” The shared content features striking pad work and weight training, accompanied by a motivating quote from Muhammad Ali: “I hated every minute of training, but I said, don’t quit, suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion,” prominently displayed on a whiteboard.
The attached images portray a remarkable physique for the Sunderland-born midfielder, prompting admiration from prominent figures like James Milner and Adebayo Akinfenwa, who were quick to praise his efforts.
Further demonstrating his dedication, Henderson took to Instagram to showcase his hard work, reaffirming his determination to earn his spot on the team.
While rumors about his future at the club have circulated, particularly since his former teammate Steven Gerrard took charge at Saudi Pro League club Al-Ettifaq, it seems highly unlikely that both the captain and vice-captain would depart in the same transfer window under Jurgen Klopp’s management.
So, how did Henderson’s Liverpool teammates react to his transformation? Fans have been treated to an abundance of social media content from the club’s official Twitter account, delighting in every update.
One of the standout moments arrived when Robertson, known for his lively personality, couldn’t resist joining in on the fun prompted by Henderson’s physical metamorphosis.
Salah was the first to chime in, pointing at a shirtless Henderson and exclaiming, “My god, look at this!”
Not long after, Robertson’s strong Scottish accent could be heard enthusiastically shouting, “Wow, WHAT A BODY!”

Robertson even jokingly commented on Henderson’s recent posts, attributing his transformation to boxing, followed by an entertaining attempt at shadow-boxing.
Amidst the laughter, Henderson graciously embraced the banter, while his Scottish teammate reiterated, “What a body.”
The astonishing transformation managed to ignite a teammate’s excitement to the point where Salah jokingly contemplated stepping aside to fully appreciate the view.
Liverpool fans are thrilled by the pre-season developments, eagerly anticipating the team’s recharged spirit and the impressive form showcased by their captain, Jordan Henderson.
