Aaron Ramsdale names Liverpool's 'disrespected' player and makes Anfield claim

Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale believes Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is overlooked by England supporters for the role he plays within Gareth Southgate's side.

Henderson featured in all but one of the Three Lions' fixtures at the World Cup in Qatar and was on the scoresheet during the team's round-of-16 triumph over Senegal.

At club level, there are some supporters who also share the view the 32-year-old has continued to serve as an unsung hero in the Reds' squad since his arrival over a decade ago.

How Thiago Alcantara is helping Liverpool transform £224k defender into 'surprise' midfield saviour

When Liverpool last travelled to Brighton & Hove Albion earlier this month, a shambolic 3-0 defeat left Jurgen Klopp in no doubt that he needed to make changes to his side.

That day, he fielded what is, on paper at least, his strongest midfield in Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, and Thiago Alcantara. Yet the Reds’ engine room woes continued as the trio struggled, and not for the first time.

Henderson and Fabinho were dropped for the FA Cup replay against Wolves off the back of the loss, as Naby Keita and Stefan Bajcetic were brought into the starting XI in their place. Klopp was rewarded with an improved showing and the pair then kept their places against Chelsea last weekend, with Bajcetic making his first Premier League start in the process.

And as Liverpool’s 0-0 draw with the Londoners made it back-to-back clean sheets, Klopp was effusive with his praise for the young Spaniard.
