England head coach Gareth Southgate has confirmed Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson will be involved in their clash with the Czech Republic tonight.
Both teams have four points, but the Czech Republic lead the group due to goal difference.
Ben Chilwell and Mason Mount are not likely to be involved against the Czech Republic due to COVID-19 related issues, which is no doubt a blow, but both Henderson and Manchester United centre-half Harry Maguire ‘will be involved’.
“Both [Henderson and Maguire] are training very well and both will be involved tomorrow,” said Southgate, via the
Liverpool Echo.
“It’s slightly different situations considering the time they’ve missed. We’re happy with their progress.
“They’ve already, without being on the pitch, had a massive impact around the training sessions and around the squad. I couldn’t be happier with our playing group and, the senior players in particular, the influence and the impact they’ve had.
“It’s a massive disappointment for any player to miss matches. Of course they want to get on the pitch and we’re hoping they can play a big part in this tournament for us.”
