England boss Lee Carsley claimed he was always planning to play Dean Henderson over Jordan Pickford during this international break - after the Everton keeper dropped to bench vs Finland on Sunday evening.

Pickford was replaced by Crystal Palace keeper Henderson for England's trip to Helsinki after some high-profile errors in the team's 2-1 loss to Greece, including an incident where he dribbled out of the box and gifted possession with his goal gaping.

The Everton goalkeeper's blushes were only spared by Levi Colwill's dramatic goal-line clearance and he will now be forced to watch England's clash against Finland from the bench - with Henderson given a rare chance to impress.

It is only Henderson's second England cap, having last played for the Three Lions in 2020, coming off the bench in a 3-0 friendly win over the Republic of Ireland.

Pickford has also come under fire in the Premier League this season.

After the Finland defeat, Roy Keane came down strongly on the 30-year-old, saying his mistake to give the ball away "didn't send a good message" and claimed he would continue to make mistakes.
