Thomas Tuchel recalls Jordan Henderson for England in controversial call

New England manager Thomas Tuchel has recalled Jordan Henderson to the national team, a move considered controversial given the 34-year-old's recent injury struggles and time spent playing in Saudi Arabia.
Tuchel justified the decision by highlighting Henderson's leadership qualities, experience, and embodiment of the team's values.
Henderson's recent move to Ajax and captaincy there, despite limited game time due to injury, contributed to his selection.
Tuchel emphasised that every player in the squad is a contender for the 2026 World Cup, though acknowledges much can change before then.
Henderson's inclusion brings valuable veteran leadership to a relatively young squad.
