Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson believes Chelsea's Mason Mount has the mentality and technical ability to succeed at the highest level.
Mount was forced off early in Tuesday's Champions League defeat to Valencia following a reckless challenge by former Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin.
But despite initial fears over potential ligament damage, the 20-year-old midfielder has made a swift recovery, and Henderson has been impressed with his immediate impact this season under Frank Lampard.
"Frank's done very good," Henderson told Soccer Saturday. "I think the way they're playing is very good. They've got young kids but they're top players, and certainly will be in the future.
"They've got huge potential with the likes of Mason already training for England, I can see he's got the right mentality to play football.
"Technically he's very good. Everyone can see that he's hungry to be a very good player and is a very exciting prospect. He's started the season very well along with Tammy [Abraham].
"They haven't had a couple of results go their way, with the Sheffield United game and Valencia, but in terms of the way they're playing I can definitely see an improvement."

Mount is not a winger tho’ he’s earned lampard’s trust since they were 2gether at Derby ... and as for pulisic he’s not yet a better replacement to hazard

Didn't say so. U asking of Chelsea's position & I'm telling U it's too early to judge in terms of position. Chelsea will most likely finish top four this season, & a strong contender for a Silverware this season.

Mount's been much better for England than Alli in recent years. Maddison hasn't even played a senior game.

lampard should get a player like mikel who will be giving Tammy Abraham ball as he was doing it with Drogba

Kante can play alter to CB when they play the defensive.....wings will be free of defensive role and attack can be one of the deadliest in europe

Mount is the kind of player England have been desperately needing for multiple tournaments now. Having him, Loftus Cheek, Mount, and others (Barnes, Grealish maybe) available might signal the end of an England team that has always seemed ponderous in possession.

Mount's usually really good for England though.
Ludicrous

If the Dutch league was such a high standard call Mount up 2 years ago then. He’s clearly been called up off the back of 2 games.

Mount really flies under the radar. I'm a massive fan of him despite us playing him out of position every week. Works so hard and is technically superb.

Yes, Mount comes from the Championship, plays a game or 2 for Chelsea and gets called to the Senior Side. Maddison came a year ago, but had to wait for his Second call-up. Even his first call up took time.

Mount has almost recovered. He'll play the next match, most probably.

On recent by form Mount has been better than Alli I think but Alli has played at a higher level than Mount ever has.

I think Mount fills such a unique role that it's difficult to say. Alli at his best is exceptional, but his recent form (toward the end of last season) hasn't been fantastic though. I hope he'll come in to this season at his best.

First we were over reliant on Hazard. Now we are over reliant on Mount.
