Harry Kane backs Jordan Henderson's England recall

Harry Kane has spoken about the need for strong leadership in the England football team after last summer's European Championship. Kane, who captained the team to the final, noted that the squad struggled under pressure and criticism. He felt the absence of experienced players like Jordan Henderson was a significant loss. Gareth Southgate, England's manager, had left several senior players out of the squad for the tournament. This decision meant Kane had to lead a younger group, which included Kyle Walker, Declan Rice, and Jude Bellingham. Kane believes that during tough times, experienced players like him and Henderson are essential for guiding the team. Jordan Henderson has made a surprising return to the squad under new coach Thomas Tuchel. The 34-year-old midfielder was left out of the Euros and previous games, leading many to think his international career was over. However, Tuchel praised Henderson for representing the team's values and Kane also supported his inclusion. Kane emphasized Henderson's experience and the benefits he brings to the team on and off the pitch. He believes Henderson still has much to contribute, especially in practice sessions. Kane expressed excitement about their partnership as leaders within the team, hoping it will help England in their upcoming World Cup qualifier against Albania.
