Sheffield Utd boss Wilder challenges Henderson to build on first England call

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has challenged Dean Henderson to build on his first England call-up.

Wilder claimed Henderson's call-up by Gareth Southgate was recognition of the on-loan Manchester United goalkeeper's progress with the Blades.

"He's working extremely hard and I'm delighted he got his reward with England," said Wilder.

“It was a reward for not just a good start to his Premier League season, but his performances right the way through and for England at international level before.

“The next step now is to stay in the squad and to try and make his full debut. He will only do that by playing very well for us.

“He has to keep improving and taking his game to the next level, which is playing for the national side and doing very well for us.

“When that happens, we will only know with time."
