The 34-year-old Ajax midfielder was a shock inclusion in Tuchel’s first squad as Three Lions boss for World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia

Tuchel stated Henderson "embodies everything we are trying to build," highlighting his veteran leadership in a relatively inexperienced squad and viewing him as a potential contender for the 2026 World Cup.
