England boss Gareth Southgate has defended his decision to call up former Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson despite his move to Al-Ettifaq.Southgate admitted that the Saudi Pro League doesn't provide the same level of the competition as the top European leagues, the England manager will travel to check in on Henderson, who is in his team for the forthcoming games against Australia and Italy.: "His physical data is fine. The games are not at the same intensity as the games here.
"We will get to his games the same way we get everybody else’s. That’s a longer trip and in these first couple of months, we’ve felt it more important to see as many games live as we can, as quickly as possible, by getting around our country more."But as time moves on, we’ll get to more of the Milans, the Madrids and the Bayern Munichs, as well as out to see Hendo."due to the country's poor treatment of LGBT+ people.
