Jordan Henderson described the boos he received from England supporters on Friday as 'disappointing' but says they won't affect his commitment to his country.
Jordan Henderson hit back at the England supporters who booed him during Friday's win over Australia, describing the abuse as 'disappointing'. However, he insisted: 'It won't change who I am and what I do for this team and for my country. I give absolutely everything every time.
supporters groups connected to both Liverpool and England criticised the move, given Saudi Arabia's human rights record and the fact homosexuality is illegal in Saudi Arabia. Henderson had been a vocal supporter of rights during his time as Liverpool captain. Last month, Henderson gave an interview to The Athletic explaining his decision, although his reasoning drew further criticism. Henderson was booed by sections of the Wembley crowd when he was replaced by Kalvin Phillips in the 62nd minute against Australia. Speaking after the match, he said he hadn't heard the booing himself but said it wouldn't affect his commitment to the England national team.
