Jordan Henderson has been recalled to the England squad by new manager Thomas Tuchel, marking his first inclusion since November 2023. Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford endorsed Henderson's return, praising his 'winning mentality' and leadership qualities. As a seasoned player with 81 caps, Henderson is seen as pivotal in helping the team elevate its performance, particularly as they prepare for the 2026 World Cup. Pickford emphasized the importance of having leaders like Henderson and Dan Burn, stating their presence would improve training standards and foster a successful team environment.
"We've been knocking on the door for a while now. We've been to two finals, a semi-final and a quarter final. It's about that next step now."
"To have those leaders around the place, the more leaders you have in the team I think the more success they will bring."
