Jordan Henderson to start for England

England news: While there has been much wailing and gashing of teeth over the inclusion of Jordan Henderson in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for tonight’s World Cup qualifier against a ski resort, our chief football correspondent has been in touch to say that the 34-year-old will start against Andorra, with Declan Rice missing out.

“Jordan Henderson is starting!” writes David Hytner. “Tuchel has been absolutely effusive about Henderson’s leadership skills. It is why he is back in the squad. Now he is about to win his 84th cap from the start. It sounds like England will build up in a 3-2, as Tuchel likes to say. With Jones and Henderson as the two. In front of them - Palmer, Rogers, Bellingham, Madueke - and Kane. Konsa, Burn, James at the back.”
