David Seaman makes 'tough' Dean Henderson World Cup prediction

England legend David Seaman believes Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Dean Henderson will miss out on the World Cup.

Henderson, on loan at Forest from Manchester United, returned to the England squad for the first time since the Euros in 2020. The 25-year-old's call-up came after number one shot-stopper Jordan Pickford was ruled out with a thigh injury.

In the Three Lions' two outings against Italy and Germany, Henderson was named on the bench and was an unused substitute. With the World Cup just on the horizon, Seaman has given his thoughts on who is likely to make the plane to Qatar.

"It’s a tough one, but looking at it and the experience that everyone has got, I think that unfortunately, Dean [Henderson] might miss out," Seaman said on Football Daily.

"He's not made a lot of appearances for England, it's his first season back in with Nottingham Forest. I would imagine he's the one that misses out.

"I say fingers crossed no one gets injured because you never know, there's still a few months to go before the World Cup and you never know what might happen. But I think in Aaron [Ramsdale] and Nick [Pope], you've got two guys there that are really close in being number two."
