Henderson sidelined after surgery in new blow for Liverpool

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson faces a long spell on the sidelines after undergoing an operation on the groin injury he sustained in last weekend's Merseyside derby loss against Everton. Liverpool has not put a timescale on the midfielder's recovery but said he will be out until at least April in another blow to its fading Premier League title defense.

Five months into his time at the ailing Premier League champions and Thiago has yet to taste victory at Anfield, the stadium that was once a fortress for Liverpool. In 13 games for the Reds since joining from Bayern Munich, he has been on the winning side on just four occasions. While it's hard not to point to Liverpool's injury-stricken defense as the biggest factor in the team's dramatic downturn -- center backs Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip are unlikely to play again this season -- the effect that has had on its once-stable midfield arguably
