Steve Cooper backs Dean Henderson to make Gareth Southgate's World Cup squad after delivering in 'important moments' for Nottingham Forest... insisting the England goalkeeper's displays have given him the 'best chance' of sealing his spot in Qatar

Steve Cooper believes Dean Henderson has given himself the best chance of making England's World Cup squad with his performances for Nottingham Forest this season.

Henderson has proved his worth in the early part of the campaign after his season-loan long from Manchester United. The 25-year-old has certainly been kept busy as the Reds have struggled to adapt to life in the Premier League and only Brentford's David Raya has made more than his 48 saves so far this campaign.

He was in Gareth Southgate's squad for the Nations League matches last month, but that was with Jordan Pickford out injured so he is realistically competing with Aaron Ramsdale and Nick Pope for one of the goalkeeping spots in Qatar.
