Thomas Tuchel has defended his decision to call up Jordan Henderson, insisting the experienced midfielder continues to set the standard in the England camp.
The 34-year-old, now capped 84 times, was the second-oldest player on the teamsheet for this international break after Kyle Walker (35) and completed 64 minutes in an uninspiring 1-0 win over Andorra last week. He was left on the bench for Tuesday’s 3-1 loss to Senegal.
