'This is what dreams are made of' - Man Utd loanee Henderson wins first senior England call-up

Dean Henderson has been called up to the England squad for the first time, replacing the injured Tom Heaton.

The goalkeeper, on loan at Sheffield United from Manchester United, will join up with Gareth Southgate's squad at St George's Park on Wednesday.

"The decision was taken after Heaton returned to his club for further assessment on an injury sustained during Aston Villa's win against Norwich City last weekend," the FA added in a statement.
