Jordan Henderson blasted over England decision as Liverpool handed Premier League title advantage

Your Liverpool morning digest for Friday, June 4.

Henderson blasted over England decision

Jordan Henderson has been called "selfish" for not withdrawing from England's Euro 2020 squad after missing his country's friendly win over Austria.

Liverpool captain Henderson was named in the 26-man squad for the forthcoming finals despite having not played since February following a groin injury.

The 30-year-old has spent the last week training with England in their pre-tournament camp in Middlesbrough but was ruled out of the 1-0 victory over Austria on Wednesday with a minor niggle.

And former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor has criticised Henderson and accused him of not doing the right thing for Southgate's squad.

Liverpool handed Premier League title advantage

The winning margin in many recent seasons may indicate otherwise.

But the Premier League title race can often be determined by the finest of margins, the smallest of details.

Clubs look to capitalise on every little advantage, hoping it can give them that bit extra in the dispute for honours.

And Liverpool could be handed a welcome plus as they look to hit the ground running next season and build on the 10-game unbeaten that saw them clinch third place this season and secure remarkable Champions League qualification.

Why? The forthcoming European Championships.

The tournament, which begins next Friday, will bring together the cream of European talent, with Liverpool strongly represented.
