Every national team in a World Cup obviously must have at least one man of vast experience among its ranks to help them not only with the task of instructing the new and future generations, but also that this man can become a key and decisive piece in some of the matches that are played either in group stage or direct elimination, as his reading and understanding of the game can compensate for some shortcomings that are handled in today's football.
This situation of the veteran footballer has been a constant even in this Qatar 2022 World Cup, an edition that is seeing the new promises take a leading role during the matches of the first day, having the England team a special case with its squad, because among so much youth and inexperience of the fair, there is a veteran like Jordan Henderson, Liverpool midfielder who has expressed his firm intention to play some minutes.

The veteran footballer made it clear that his participation in World Cups will not be limited by his age, because even if in the next edition he is almost 36 years old, the Reds player does not see any inconvenience in continuing to participate, as in this competition there have been cases where footballers continue to participate even as veterans". I've seen a lot of 36-year-olds play in World Cups, so there's no reason why I can't do it."
Jordan Henderson's neat and successful career in the Premier League, and more specifically with Liverpool, has made him a constant and to some extent important consideration for the Three Lions squad, for even though that sector of the pitch he has dominated to perfection is being occupied by younger team-mates, his vast experience and background is something the British gems lack, justifying Southgate's call-up of the Liverpool player.
Not wanting the Three Lions to slip up and jeopardise their place in the last 16, the England boss has not made any changes that would compromise the result against the United States, with the Liverpool player perhaps having to wait for a time when the result is not compromised to see his Qatar 2022 debut.
