Henderson recently joined the Saudi Pro League club Al-Ettifaq, but was concerned about the prospect of being overlooked for England duty if he were to move. “I spoke to him in the summer, the question he wanted to know was: ‘If I move here, are you going to automatically rule me out?’” Southgate told TalkSport.
