Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold says teammate Jordan Henderson is unfairly underrated.

Henderson was on the bench for the first two games of the World Cup, but came into the team and did well as England beat Wales 3-0 on Tuesday.

He was brought in to provide experience and extra legs in midfield, and Southgate must now decide whether to keep faith with him against Senegal.

“I think he is criminally underrated as a footballer," said Alexander-Arnold. “He is someone who can influence games. When people think of him, they think about shouting, running and the dirty side of the game, but on the ball, he is technically an outstanding footballer.

“He is a natural-born leader and you can tell it is not forced, it's completely natural.

“He brings that intensity to the team, he demands it from people with his aura and shouting. The way he plays the game is very intense, and you need players like that.

“He is an all-round outstanding footballer and he deserves a lot more credit than he is given."
