England coach Gareth Southgate has rejected criticism from Manchester United great Roy Keane over his backing of Jordan Henderson.
Keane launched a scathing attack on the decision to call Liverpool captain Henderson into the 26-man squad for this summer's finals, despite having been out of action since February with a groin injury.
Southgate replied on Sunday, after the friendly with Romania: “Well I think firstly we are not distracted by anything.
“We know the situation Hendo is in, he's been a very positive influence around the camp with the group.
"It's a step forward for him physically today which was important for him to be able to play some sort of part in the tournament and we are realistic about what that could be.
“It's not a situation where it's dividing the group or it's unrealistic what's possible.
“We're not hanging our hat on him being fit and if we can get him to a good level then that's a bonus. We've got 26 players which hasn't been the case before.
“With the penalties we are very diligent in how we practise them. I didn't expect what happened to happen and I wouldn't expect that to happen again."
