The timing of the births had more than just comedic value, though...
I’m so glad Henderson and Salah’s wives gave birth during this winter break so they don’t have to miss any games. Even the wives want this league title

Shout out to the beautiful mothers of Mo Salah’s and Jordan Henderson’s new babies, who had the grace and courtesy to give birth during winter break.

When the duo and Liverpool return from the winter break on 15 February, they'll face Norwich City as they continue their quest for a first league title since 1990. After that, it's a meeting with Atletico Madrid in the last-16 of the Champions League.
