Henderson was jeered by some England fans at Wembley during Friday’s friendly victory against Australia.
Harvey Elliott has defended Jordan Henderson and believes his former Liverpool captain deserves better treatment.
Henderson captained England, with Harry Kane rested, but was booed when he was replaced by Kalvin Phillips in the second half.He completed a controversial switch to Al Ettifaq from Liverpool in the summer having been a vocal supporter of LGBTQ+ rights, with homosexuality illegal in Saudi Arabia, but former Anfield team-mate Elliott has backed the 33-year-old.
“It’s his decision, it’s his career. As a nation we need to get behind these players and support them. It wasn’t nice, but knowing Hendo I’m sure it hasn’t fazed him.“He’s a positive-minded player and person. He just wants to do the best for himself in his career. Everyone is behind him.” Elliott will contact his former skipper once England duty is over, with the 20-year-old travelling to Slovakia to face Ukraine with the under-21s on Monday and Henderson preparing for the visit of Italy on Tuesday.“I didn’t want to make too much of a fuss about it – no-one should. It’s a few individuals who have different points of views, which is fine.
