Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale believes Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is overlooked by England supporters for the role he plays within Gareth Southgate's side.
Henderson featured in all but one of the Three Lions' fixtures at the World Cup in Qatar and was on the scoresheet during the team's round-of-16 triumph over Senegal.
At club level, there are some supporters who also share the view the 32-year-old has continued to serve as an unsung hero in the Reds' squad since his arrival over a decade ago.

Explaining his confusion regarding the criticism Henderson receives, Ramsdale said: "He gets so disrespected because he doesn’t play all the nice stuff. He runs like 12km a game, the way he talks to people on the pitch. The things he does do, he’ll play an unbelievable pass or cross, but it won’t really get talked about because he’s probably just done it once in the game. He’s properly underrated at England by the fans, not by the players. They love him.”
Arsenal's No.1 has shaped up against Henderson and Liverpool on seven occasions as an opposition player, taking until this season to experience his first win against Jurgen Klopp's men. Part of the Gunners' side who suffered a 4-0 defeat at Anfield last term, the 24-year-old has shed light on what it is like to take part in a fixture at the home of the Reds.
“Liverpool fans are good. The Kop always clap, they always show respect to the goalie, or they have done for me at least. And then the clap will finish, the game will kick off and you’ve got all of them screaming at you. They shout everything under the sun," he said on the The Fellas podcast.
"At the end of the game, I don’t know if it will change when they’ve lost, as I’ve not won there, but when we’ve drawn or whatever, they still clap at the end. They’re good with it, they can just appreciate banter and a player.”
