Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe has claimed that the team have been boosted by the return of Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge.

Both players came on as second-half substitutes in the Reds' 1-0 win over Swansea City at Anfield on Sunday.

Henderson had been sidelined since mid-August after breaking a bone in his foot, while Sturridge was absent for Liverpool's last nine games due to knee and foot issues.

"It was a big lift having the two of them back out there," Ibe told the Liverpool Echo. "Jordan and Daniel are big figures in the team and hopefully they will get back to form.

"We all know how important they can be for us on the pitch. We've got good players coming back in and also Philippe Coutinho is close to being back as well so hopefully we will climb even higher."

Jurgen Klopp's side are sixth in the Premier League table, four points adrift of a Champions League spot.
