I can only imagine what the lads at Liverpool are going through, but he was a good friend.“I don’t score many goals, so when I did I always thought that I would dedicate it to him.”Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored late on to secure a 1-1 draw for Leeds, with the two sides still in the bottom half of the table after a share of the points.Henderson was one of three of Jota’s old Liverpool teammates to start for Brentford on Sunday, with Caoimhin Kelleher in goal and Sepp van den Berg at centre-back.Fabio Carvalho is also part of Andrews’ Brentford squad but the young midfielder will miss the remainder of the season having suffered an ACL injury last month.Such has been his revival that Henderson has now made every England squad throughout 2025, becoming a mainstay for Thomas Tuchel after losing his place under Gareth Southgate and later Lee Carsley.
