Henderson was one of three of Jota’s old Liverpool teammates to start for Brentford on Sunday, with Caoimhin Kelleher in goal and Sepp van den Berg at centre-back. Such has been his revival that Henderson has now made every England squad throughout 2025, becoming a mainstay for Thomas Tuchel after losing his place under Gareth Southgate and later Lee Carsley.
