Dean Henderson admits he has fallen 'behind' other goalkeepers in the England pecking order

Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Dean Henderson has admitted to being 'behind' other goalkeepers in the England set up as the World Cup approaches, and hinted that his lack of game time at Manchester United last season may be the main cause.

Despite being highly rated, Henderson has played just once for England; against Northern Ireland in 2020.

The most recent England squad saw Jordan Pickford, Aaron Ramsdale and Nick Pope picked ahead of Henderson, and it was Pope that started England's 1-0 loss to Italy on Friday night.
