Jordan Henderson has made 22 appearances for the team.
Jordan Henderson is concerned that nobody takes player welfare seriously.
The Reds will play five games within two weeks despite Covid-19 cases and injuries.
Despite a rise in Covid-19 cases, the premier league clubs decided to fulfill their festive fixture on Monday.
"I don't think people can appreciate how intense it is until they see it first hand," said Henderson.
He said that football is everything to them and they want to be able to perform at the highest level every time they set foot on the pitch. It is difficult to do that in this period.
It has been difficult for a few years now, but then you add Covid and it becomes even harder and worse.
Nobody takes player welfare seriously.

Henderson helped organize an initiative last year for players in the top flight to raise funds for the health service.

There is no communication with players in terms of what they think, which is a big problem, I am not saying they have to make decisions on what players think, but I think they need to be part of a conversation.
