Henderson joined Saudi Pro League Al-Ettifaq in the summer and was booed on his return to Wembley on Friday.
Alan Shearer says “you can’t blame” Henderson for moving to Saudi Arabia, as the former Newcastle striker slammed the England fans for booing the midfielder.
The 33-year-old – who was previously an advocate for the Rainbow Laces campaign – was heavily criticised for moving to Saudi Arabia, where homosexuality is illegal and can be punishable by death. “I thought that was extremely harsh,” he said. “Would I be correct in saying that 98 or 99 percent of those that booed him, if given the same chance, put in the same position to earn £700,000 per week, would they say no to that?” Shearer told the“You can’t blame him for that. The work he has done off the field, as well as on the field. He’s been a great captain for Liverpool – a fantastic leader. He’s taken Liverpool to heights that they hadn’t been to for a long time.
Gary Lineker claims Henderson should retire and “make the decision” for Gareth Southgate, who’s been put in an awkward position.
