'No problem' - Gary Neville and Roy Keane explain why Jordan Henderson starts for England vs Senegal

Gary Neville and Roy Keane have weighed in with their own praise for Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson.

Gareth Southgate has again selected Henderson in his England starting 11 this evening as the Three Lions prepare to take on Senegal in the last-16 of the World Cup. Opting to start the 32-year-old alongside Declan Rice in a more deep-lying midfield role, the former Sunderland man has earned his role after some strong performances thus far in Qatar.

England know should they progress against the current AFCON champions tonight, defending champions France await in the quarter-finals, with Les Blues seeing off Poland 3-0 in today's earlier game. Henderson will again hope to impress, with both Neville and Keane explaining just why the Three Lions boss has selected the Liverpool man from the start.
