The Reds captain did not necessarily look like he’d be a starter for England at this World Cup, but he started the game against Senegal yesterday, scoring the opening goal in a convincing 3-0 win.
Henderson has worked his way back into the England starting line up and Collymore now believes he’s done enough to make himself undroppable.
