Philippe Coutinho talk is off-limits in Liverpool dressing room, according to captain Jordan Henderson

- But Liverpool are adamant they will not sell their star player to the Catalans
- Jordan Henderson has stressed that the subject is not on the players' lips
Philippe Coutinho's future has been the last thing on the minds of his Liverpool team-mates, captain Jordan Henderson insists.
Liverpool face Arsenal with Coutinho again missing with an apparent back injury as he tries to force a move to Barcelona before deadline day.
Unbeaten so far and with progress to the Champions League group stages comfortably achieved, Henderson said: 'It's easy. Whatever happens with players coming in and going out, you stick together as a team and focus on what's important, which is playing well.
Philippe Coutinho is the subject of intense transfer interest from Barcelona
'We haven't spoken about [Coutinho]. We have just continued to get on with the job as normal. We have started pretty well and hopefully we can now kick on against Arsenal.'
Coutinho handed in a transfer request after Liverpool owners FSG stated the 25-year-old was not for sale at any price.
The club's stance has not stopped Barca making three bids for the Brazilian, reaching £115 million.
Jordan Henderson says the Coutinho transfer talk has been banned from the dressing room
