The Three Lions were back in action on Sunday when they faced off in their final pre-tournament friendly against Romania.
Henderson has been out through injury for the latter parts of the most recent 2020-21 domestic campaign, however, in a bid to return to full fitness in time for this summer’s Euros, the 30-year-old has been named in Southgate’s final 23-man squad.
Although not included in the manager’s starting line-up against Romania, Henderson was introduced just after the break.
The English skipper’s evening didn’t go too well after he stepped up and missed a spot-kick.
However, after going on to eventually win the game 1-0, Keane, who spoke to ITV, after the match criticised Southgate’s decision to include the Liverpool man in the team.
Roy Keane on Jordan Henderson… 😬
“Clearly Jordan’s not fit – I don’t think he should be involved… I’ve heard people say they want him around the place – for what? Does he do card tricks? Does he have a sing song? Does he do quizzes in the evenings?” pic.twitter.com/YhYaXxg8FX
