Liverpool captain, Jordan Henderson, is reportedly set to lead an emergency meeting involving all Premier League captains over the controversial European Super League plans.
The meeting between Henderson and his fellow Premier League captains would reportedly hold on Wednesday, per The Athletic’s David Ornstein.
Few of the footballers in the affected clubs have spoken against the move. However, Daily Mail reports the meeting would reveal that players’ response to the recently-announced plans which could see the six EPL clubs dump the Champions League.
Liverpool along with Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are six of the 12 founding members of the controversial new elite tournament.
