I listened to Thomas Tuchel explain his reasons for giving Jordan Henderson an England recall but it still makes no sense. It’s utterly baffling to me and risks blocking the pathway of others.
Jordan is someone I respect and I feel he’s been under-appreciated with Liverpool and England.
But to turn to him now at the age of 34 when he’s not getting regular starts for Ajax in an average Dutch League is one of the strangest decisions I can remember.
Tuchel has put a lot of emphasis on Henderson’s character but this England squad already has leaders in Harry Kane, Kyle Walker and Jordan Pickford.
