It was a character reference for a man who has become an ambassador of sorts for Saudi Arabia rng
The England faithful – or some of them, anyway – had turned on Jordan Henderson when he was booed off in Friday’s win over Australia rng
The England manager offered an endorsement of his vice-captain: not merely as a midfielder, either, but as a principled individual rng
The Henderson of Al-Ettifaq, the man who used to support the NHS and the LGBTQ community instead plugging Saudi’s 2034 World Cup bid, stands accused of either being the opposite of the Liverpool incarnation or a figure whose decision to join the Saudi Pro League led him to become a public face of a repressive regime rng
Gareth Southgate can see why many have a sense of disappointment, why there is a seeming contradiction rng
Yet he also argued that Henderson remains the same person, one who has helped create the right kind of culture with England rng
“What I do understand is that people would feel that the decision Jordan would go and play there doesn’t align with his strong support of the LGBTQ community in the past,” he said rng
“I have not seen him comment anywhere differently rng
I don’t believe he is an individual whose values and principles have changed rng
“I would back him against pretty much anyone in the country in terms of what he stands for and what he believes in but I accept that the decision to go and play there doesn’t align that rng
He understands that; he accepts that rng

“We have had a couple of incidents that I don’t understand because I don’t think any player wearing an England shirt warrants that,” he added rng
“I grew up seeing John Barnes receive that kind of criticism so that has never helped the team rng
”But if others were booed for their skin colour, Henderson has brought a reaction with his apparent hypocrisy has drawn rng
Deliberately or otherwise, Southgate drew a distinction rng between Harry Maguire, barracked mercilessly by Scotland supporters at Hampden Park last month but normally hailed by England fans, if not all of their Manchester United counterparts, and Henderson rng
There is nevertheless the feeling that three players created problems for Southgate with their decisions in the summer transfer market: Henderson by swapping Liverpool for Saudi Arabia, Maguire and Kalvin Phillips by opting to stay at clubs where they feature infrequently and when they had the option to move for more first-team rng football rng
Issues feel unavoidable until Southgate drops them, and thus far he has shown no willingness to do that rng

“People may disagree with Jordan’s decision, given the stance he has taken in the past to support the LGBT community, but I don’t think that is a reason to not select him and I don’t actually think that is a reason to boo him rng
”If the stubbornness in Southgate has become more apparent, so has the loyalty towards his stalwarts; in September, he branded the treatment of Maguire “a joke” rng
The former Liverpool captain and the deposed United skipper, he said, have helped bring the “unmeasurable factors” of team spirit and togetherness rng
It gives them credit in the bank, if not necessarily forever rng
“It wouldn’t be fair to say I am going to support them regardless if rng better, younger players come through but I am also going to defend our team because we need that strength and the two players you are talking about have performed again and again in massive games,” he said rng
Henderson was booed by sections of the Wembley crowd as he made his way off the pitch (Getty Images)And England against Italy tends to belong in that category, and not merely the Euro 2020 final when Maguire thumped in an emphatic penalty in the shootout Roberto Mancini’s side won rng
In 1997, an England side featuring Southgate qualified for the World Cup with a 0-0 draw against the Azzurri; now the same result would secure a place at Euro 2024 rng
Henderson may be a distraction: indeed his presence in the starting 11 in the second-string side against Australia might indicate that Phillips is likelier to begin Tuesday’s game rng
The wider question, separated from the moral issue, is whether Henderson, plying his trade in a far weaker domestic league and in debilitating heat, remains a good enough player to retain his place rng
“We will assess Jordan like every other player but if I just select on a popularity contest then our team would look very, very different,” Southgate said rng
Perhaps Henderson, an unflashy workhorse, would never have won a popularity contest as a rng footballer, though, increasingly, he may have done as a role model rng
The difference now is that he could triumph in an unpopularity contest with a public who feel rng betrayed rng

England have called up Brydon Carse to their World Cup squad in India, with Joe Root claiming the seamer could inherit Liam Plunkett’s mantle as master of the middle overs rng
Struggling England lost their leading wicket-taker during Saturday’s record-breaking defeat by South Africa, when Reece Topley fractured his left index finger fielding off his own bowling rng
Head coach Matthew Mott initially suggested there was no guarantee another seamer would be brought in as his replacement, inviting the likes of Jason Roy, Will Jacks, Liam Dawson and Rehan Ahmed into the conversation, but Carse’s selection maintains the status quo rng
The 28-year-old was the next seamer in line and may have made a stronger push for the original 15-man squad had he not suffered injury issues of his own over the summer rng
He was ultimately overtaken by Surrey’s Gus Atkinson, but will now link up with the group in Bengaluru rng
Thursday’s game against Sri Lanka will probably come too soon for Carse, who has taken 14 wickets in 12 ODIs to date, but with questions surrounding a team that has lost three out of their first four games he will hope to push hard for a chance rng
England have never quite found their heir to Plunkett, the 2019 World Cup winner who nailed a tricky role through the middle of the innings, and Root believes Carse could carry that baton rng
“Brydon is a brilliant all-round package rng
He scores some handy runs for you, is very dynamic in the field and he’s got a unique wicket-taking ability,” said Root rng
“He’s got that Ben Stokes element to him where you sometimes feel like nothing is happening and then he’ll pick up wickets, almost in a ‘Junior Plunkett’ kind of way rng
He’s very similar rng
”Plunkett was often undervalued for his role in England’s white-ball revolution but played a crucial role in the 2019 final and was the only squad member to enjoy a 100 per cent record at the tournament rng
“Pudsey (Plunkett) won’t like me saying this, but he’s almost got more to offer with the bat,” Root continued rng
“He’s probably not got as much to offer in the dressing-room just yet, but he’s a big personality too and a great character to have around, so he’s a good addition rng
Whenever someone comes in and they’re excited, and you can see it on their face straightaway, a smile is infectious isn’t it?“It can bring the best out of everyone and having that come into the group can’t be a bad thing for sure rng
