Jordan Henderson, a former captain of Liverpool, has gone above and above for his nation.
In Berlin, Germany on Sunday night, England and Spain will compete in the Euro 2024 final. While Spain defeated France in their individual match, the Three Lions defeated the Netherlands to secure their spot in their second consecutive European Championship final.
Henderson was left out of Gareth Southgate’s tournament roster. The midfield player moved to Al Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League for £12 million, leaving Liverpool a year ago.
Henderson would only stay in Saudi Arabia for six months before he signed a contract with Ajax in January. Despite not playing for England since last November, the former captain of Liverpool is still supporting the Three Lions.
Henderson, according to The Times, is in Germany to witness England play in the final at Berlin’s Olympiastadion. The former Reds captain had to make other plans, though, as it appears that he was unable to secure a flight for the trip.
Henderson reportedly took his kids with him when he rented a vehicle to go from Amsterdam to Berlin. The 34-year-old is rumored to have traveled eight hours to watch England play, and he is anticipated to arrive back in the Netherlands following the match.
In the upcoming weeks, Henderson will be anticipating the start of Ajax’s new Eredivisie season. After spending 12 happy seasons at Anfield, where he made 492 appearances and won seven major trophies, the 34-year-old left Liverpool last summer.
