Twitter React Furiously To Jordan Henderson Starting For England Against Australia

England fans have been left frustrated on Twitter, as Gareth Southgate opts for Jordan Henderson in midfield against Australia.

Jordan Henderson will start for England once again, as he sits in the heart of the Three Lions midfield to face Australia this evening.

The former Liverpool player has been selected for the last two England camps following his move to Saudi Arabian side, Al Ettifaq, which has left some fans concerned.

Henderson, who has earned 79 caps for his nation, left Liverpool in the summer after making 492 appearances for the Reds and reunited with former teammate, turned manager, Steven Gerrard in the Middle East.

Worries of Henderson’s inclusion come due to the lack of competitive football he will now be playing, as he is no longer playing in a traditional ‘Top 5’ league.

Henderson, Harry Maguire and Kalvin Phillips have all face scrutiny from England supporters, with the latter two failing to earn a place at the club sides.

Twitter has reacted heavily to Henderson’s inclusion in the starting XI, with many left confused as to why Jude Bellingham is left on the bench.

Supporters hoping they would see some new life in the England side

I couldn’t care less about England, but how on Earth is Jordan Henderson still considered for selection, let alone picked as captain?

And some questioning his inclusion, but also the choice to bestow Henderson with the Captain’s armband
