Jordan Henderson is confident that he and his Liverpool teammates will be able to cope without Steven Gerrard when the club captain leaves Anfield in the summer.

The midfielder will close the curtain on a 17-year senior career with the Reds at the end of the season before he joins MLS side Los Angeles Galaxy.

On Saturday, the former England international sealed all three points for Liverpool against Queens Park Rangers by scoring the winner minutes after missing a second-half penalty at Anfield.

"I have said many times before he is a big loss to the team - he is our leader and a big influence on games so you will miss big players like that but at the same time we have to move on when he does go," Sky Sports News quotes Henderson as saying.

"I think we have the players who can improve and have a really good go next season."

Henderson is widely expected to take the captain's armband.
