LIVERPOOL star Jordan Henderson has been called up to Gareth Southgate’s England squad after returning from injury quicker than expected.
The 32-year-old has missed the last five games in all competitions for the Reds after struggling with a hamstring problem.
England have called up Jordan Henderson to their latest squad for their upcoming Nations League matches
His setback saw him fail to be named in the latest squad for the upcoming Nations League matches against Italy and Germany.
But with Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips forced to pull out due to a shoulder injury, Southgate has turned to ex-Sunderland ace Henderson.
That is according to the Daily Mail, who have stated that Henderson is now in contention to feature in Milan on Friday.
The news outlet has claimed that Henderson linked up with his Three Lions team-mates at St George’s Park on Monday night.
It has been said that the decision was made to call-up Henderson after he came through a number of workout sessions over the weekend.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is believed to be happy for his skipper to go away with England in the hope he steps up his match fitness by getting some game time.
