Jordan Henderson believes that his recent move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq should not hamper his chances of being selected to play for England.
In an interview with BeanymanSports, the former Liverpool captain also revealed that his desire to work with Steven Gerrard was a major factor in deciding to move to Saudi Arabia.
Henderson played alongside Gerrard at Anfield, and after the former Aston Villa manager became Al-Ettifaq boss in July, he moved quickly to secure the services of the England international.
Henderson left Liverpool to sign a £700,00-a-week contract with the Saudi club at the end of July and has received assurances from Gareth Southgate that he will still be in contention to represent his country.
