Jordan Henderson will surely feel a huge pang of regret when he sits down to watch England's Euro 2024 campaign on television this summer.
The man who was Gareth Southgate's midfield mainstay for so long will not be going to Germany after being left out of the 30-man provisional squad named on Tuesday.
Even at 33, Henderson would surely have been a strong candidate to make the final squad had he still been playing regularly for Liverpool. Such was the strength of Southgate's faith in his abilities.
