News about Jordan Henderson

A number of surprising names have sprung up in the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year vote. Following a terrific campaign at the Etihad Phil Foden became the first Englishman since Jordan Henderson in 2020 to win the award, earning 42 per cent of the overall vote. Arsenal's Declan Rice finished second in the standings after enjoying an impressive maiden campaign with Mikel Arteta's title-chasing Gunners. 

MIKE KEEGAN: A familiar face was being put through his paces at Liverpool 's training ground recently as a former captain returned for some intense individual fitness training at the club's headquarters. Meanwhile, it should be no surprise that Manchester United 's incoming chief executive Omar Berrada, currently on gardening leave, is investing in a new shed. Berrada, who will cross the divide from rivals City this summer, has applied for planning permission to get rid of a Wendy House at his five-bedroom Cheshire pad as part of a garage upgrade and replace it with a new, upmarket shed.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was involved in an awkward press conference exchange with a Dutch journalist he wrongly suspected of conducting a brutal interrogation of Jordan Henderson. The former Liverpool captain, now at Ajax in the Netherlands, was put on the spot in a tense TV interview after a 2-2 home draw with Fortuna Sittard on March 10. That came a few days prior to a 4-0 pasting by Aston Villa in the Europa Conference League, one of many lows in a disastrous season for the Amsterdam club, who sit 33 points shy of Eredivisie leaders PSV.

Ajax's miserable season continues to progress, with a week from hell to add to their numerous challenges during the campaign. They are one of Europe's most popular clubs, with 36 Economies and 20 KNVB Cups to their credit, and the most profitable club in the Netherlands. But not this season. They currently finish sixth in the league, suffered early in their domestic cup, and failed in European competitions.

Graham Potter has reportedly declined to be Ajax's new head coach. The former Brighton and Chelsea manager, 48, had been in negotiations with the Amsterdam club over a return to management and was regarded as a top candidate. Potter has been out of work since being fired by Chelsea last April after a turbulent seven-month stint at Stamford Bridge.

Ajax's season from hell began on Sunday, when they were defeated 6-0 by Feyenoord, their biggest-ever defeat in De Klassieker and Evie history. As the Amsterdam club was humiliated at De Kuip, Newcastle United loanee Yankuba Minteh netted twice, as did Igor Paixao, with David Hancko and Quinten Timber also on target. Jordan Henderson, the England midfielder, was forced to miss the game due to sickness, but it would not have been able to stem the tide of Feyenoord goals.

Ajax is apparently considering Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders as their next permanent head coach, with the Dutchman expected to leave Anfield at the end of the season. John van't Schip is now serving on an interim basis and has been instrumental in the rebound of a dreadful first half of the season, where Ajax had a flirtation with the relegation places before recovering.

Real Madrid's 20-year-old triumph as the world's best young player last season and has forged England's gleaming center. He has talked about how he is learning from the team's heaviness after the team's recent near-misses in tournaments. If you like, you should learn from their pain,' he told Sky Sports.

The years of hurt counter have passed into their 52nd year, but England is expected to win a first major tournament since 1966 in Germany this summer. Gareth Southgate is blessed with possibly the best team the Three Lions have fielded in a few years, and there's a lot of anticipation to see Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, and Phil Foden team up together. And that is to say that nothing of the bright young boys on display this week, especially Anthony Gordon, seemed to have a promising future for the national team.

Jermaine Pennant has argued for Manchester United starlet Kobbie Mainoo to start for England against Belgium, and has joked that if Jordan Henderson appears on the television, he'd throw something through the door. Despite playing his first against Brazil last weekend, Mainoo is expected to make his first appearance for the Three Lions at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday. Gareth Southgate has plenty to think about going into the European Championships with Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham.

CRAIG HOPE AT WEMBLEY: This was Jordan Henderson's best England game for some time. He was not booed and did not touch a foot incorrectly. The fact that he spent the entire evening in the stands speaks volumes about other players' results. Declan Rice's holding-midfield berth with England is more competitive than any other position ahead of the Euros. Here, Conor Gallagher let it slip through his fingers. When he returned to reflect afterwards, the Chelsea man's mood was reflected in his mood. He was not upbeat or bullish, and he was not upbeat or confident, and Mail Sport was reiterated that his game had'some good, some bad,' to it.

After starting as a replacement to make his England debut, Kobbie Mainoo wasted little time showcasing his abilities. Mainoo was promoted to Gareth Southgate's side earlier this week after being first listed in the Under-21 squad. Mainoo was named on the bench for England's friendly against Brazil at Wembley due to Jordan Henderson's absence due to injury.

Harry Kane, England's captain, will be unable to attend the friendly against Brazil at Wembley Stadium on Saturday evening. Kane has been struggling with an ankle injury, while Southgate has stated that he is'strongly doubtful' to play in their second friendly against Belgium. Both Jordan Henderson and Cole Palmer will be unable to attend tomorrow's high-profile friendly against Brazil at Wembley Stadium.

On Wednesday afternoon, Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka, Jordan Henderson, and Cole Palmer were all ruled out of England training. According to Sky Sports, the three Lions foursome undertook personal training ahead of England's upcoming clashes with Brazil and Belgium in the next seven days. Captain Kane is dealing with an ankle injury sustained during Bayern Munich's 5-2 victory at Darmstadt on Saturday.

TOM COLLOMOSSE AT VILLA PARK: Ollie Watkins gave Aston Villa a scare by limping off with a knee injury as his team marched into their first European quarter-final since 1998. Watkins was forced to leave moments after leading the first half of the game against 10-man Ajax, whose captain Jordan Henderson was suspended throughout, and it's now a question for England's friendlies against Brazil and Belgium later this month. Villa has risen to fourth place in the Premier League thanks to his 16 league goals and ten assists.

Gareth Southgate has named his squad for the friendlies against Brazil and Belgium later this month, dropping hints of various Euro 2024 prices. Many of those included will be encouraged as the Wembley double-header will be the last chance to impress the England manager before he selects his squad for Germany. However, those who have been cut or missing will see their Euro chances diminish by just three months until the tournament. We look at the winners and losers from England's most recent squad picks.

For the first time since leaving Anfield last summer, the former Liverpool and England captain met with a Premier League club last week. Despite their tumultuous domestic results, Ajax's first leg in Amsterdam revealed that the team has another generation of promising players that England's top clubs will be closely tracking when the teams meet at Villa Park on Thursday, with a spot in the last eight at stake. Mail Sport takes a closer look at the children being led by Henderson.

After Jordan Henderson was named in his England squad for this month's internationals with Brazil and Belgium, football fans have sluggishly dismissed him. Southgate formed a 25-man team for the two friendslies on Thursday afternoon, with the midfielder retaining his position despite enduring a turbulent campaign. Henderson, 33, who resigned from Saudi Pro League team Al-Ettifaq in the summer, but he had trouble with Steven Gerrard's team.

Jordan Henderson has expressed disappointment in returning to Saudi Arabia in the summer. Henderson, 33, signed with Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq from Liverpool for £12 million in July, making him one of many major European names to migrate to the Middle East. However, he was heavily chastised for transferring to a world where homosexuality is unlawful, with the midfielder himself a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights during his time at Anfield.

Jordan Henderson, an England midfielder, retaliated against a Dutch journalist who asked if Ajax's 2-2 draw against Fortuna Sittard on Sunday was his 'worst result'. Henderson has been a key figure in Aajx's first-team since moving to Amsterdam, with the club resurrecting their season after previously flirting with relegation. The 33-year-old played the entirety of the game, with the hosts initially trailing 2-1 at the Johan Cryuff Arena before Brian Brobbey's 88th-minute strike salvaged a draw.

Following a goalless draw in Amsterdam last week, Henderson will try to guide the Dutch giants into the Europa Conference League quarterfinals at Villa Park. Since being released from Liverpool last summer, the former England captain is back in Europe after just six months with Saudi club Al-Ettifaq, where he was expected to earn around £700,000 per week.

LEWIS STEELE EN PRAGUE: Tony Bloom, a Brighton owner, would have been joking about a cheque for 'one hundred and fifteen million pounds only' from Moises Caicedo last summer, the midfielder who is now at Chelsea and having an uneven first season to say kindly. Alexis Mac Allister, a fellow Albion player, was charged £35 million in the same window, but this appears to be one where Brighton has been conned. Given the Argentine's relatively cheap price, the Argentine is making a good argument for signing of the summer in the Premier League. On Merseyside, he had a rough start to life. Mac Allister was often obliged to play as a deep-lying No 6 midfielder due to captain Jordan Henderson's unplanned departures. He took a month or so to get used to it, but he soon began to excel.

TOM COLLOMOSSE: Jordan Henderson is confident he has plenty to offer England at Euro 2024, and he explains why in his first game against Premier League opponents since leaving Liverpool. Since being fired from Anfield, the former England skipper's place in Gareth Southgate's squad has dominated discussion, not forgetting that he spent only six months in Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq. If Henderson is no longer working in a top-five European league, the argument goes, how can he possibly deserve his place over midfielders playing every week in the English top flight, regularly labelled the best competition in the world?

TOM COLLOMOSSE AT THE JOHAN CRUYFF ARENA: After a dramatic match in Amsterdam, Ajax and Aston Villa's Europa Conference League clash resulted in a goalless draw. In the match in which Jordan Henderson played for the first time after leaving Liverpool, neither team could find the back of the net. Both squads were late to the game, after Tristan Gooijer was suspended just moments after Ezri Konsa was shown a red card.
