Henderson, who shared a number of pictures on Instagram, added: "Loved every second of this week.

Everyone was like, 'Jordan Henderson?!'

"But then when you listen to his interviews, listen to him talking about the players and players around the squad, what he wants from the squad, who is great around the squad.

"He himself said that everybody, literally to a man, was mentioning Jordan Henderson.

It would not surprise me, if Jordan Henderson’s fit enough and playing in the games, if Henderson is there for what he brings to that team, to that group of players.

"Thomas Tuchel said at the start that he wasn’t thinking of Jordan Henderson but the conversations he was having, Jordan Henderson’s name came up nearly every single time."

With the World Cup 2026 around the corner, Wright believes England could benefit from having an experienced leader like him in the dressing room.

Obviously Declan [Rice] is and then you’re starting to look around, there’s no Jordan Henderson profile in there who will pull everybody up.

"He’s still got the capability in that dressing room to pull Jude Bellingham up, that’s how Jude sees him.

"Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that Jude needs pulling up.

But there’s no one in that dressing room… when Jude came through, it was Jordan who was helping him through so he’s got that respect for him, that big-brother respect."
