Liverpool boss Rodgers delighted for Henderson over England call

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is delighted with the form this season of Jordan Henderson.

Henderson won a recall to the England squad yesterday.

"It's great for the boy and it's merited from the start he's had to the season - he has been outstanding," said Rodgers.

"It's a big credit to him that I've been able to play him in a couple of positions. He's that type of player; he can play in those positions really well.

"If you're going to a World Cup, you're going to need players that can play in a number of positions well. He can do that, he's shown already this season in a wing-back role and central midfield role how versatile he is.

"He always adds something to it. He's got a tremendous work-rate. You really sense the supporters taking to him now, appreciating what he's giving to the shirt.

"As each game goes on, he's getting better and better. Tactically he has improved, physically he's very good - his agility and mobility is excellent."
