Jordan Henderson, the 32-year-old was left off of Gareth Southgate’s initial roster due to a hamstring issue.

Jordan Henderson, the captain of Liverpool, has been named to the England roster for the Nations League matches against Germany and Italy.

The midfielder has since recovered and joined the team at St. George’s Park, though.

He takes the place of Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City, who withdrew over the weekend due to a shoulder issue.

After suffering an injury during Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over Newcastle United at Anfield on August 31, Henderson, who has 69 caps, has been absent from the team’s following three games.

In addition, Henderson will get the opportunity to train and maybe play in a match before Liverpool’s upcoming Premier League match against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, October 1.

He has only played once for England in 2022, in a 2-1 friendly victory against Switzerland in March at Wembley.

Italy, the defending European champion, will play England on Friday at the San Siro in Milan, and Germany on Monday at Wembley.
