Surprised at the J Henderson call-up.

Tuchel explains Henderson selection "Jordan is a serial winner, he is captain of Ajax. What he brings to every team is leadership, character, personality, energy. He makes sure that everyone lives by standards and with this characterisitic he embodies everything that we try to build."

I'm surprised as he's hardly played for Ajax

Shh... That's one of the reasons Ajax are looking like winning the league this year

I thought Hudson-Odoi might have earned a call-up but I guess not.

Surprised by the lack of Gibbs-Whitw

Awesome call up for Barrel. Hope he gets some playing time.

Up the reds!

Jordan Henderson back in Europe really feels like an improved version of the same player. Still not sure if he could see a lot of playtime, but could work as an experienced squad player.

Yeah that would be my bet too. Might be useful to have around while Tuchel gets to know the players
