Jordan Henderson was one of four England players who went into the quarter-final a booking away from a suspension that would have meant them missing the semi-final. The others were Kyle Walker, Jesse Lingard and Ruben Loftus-Cheek – all of them will be available.
Rio Ferdinand: “I think Jordan Henderson’s stock has gone up during this World Cup. He has been heavily criticised in the past for not passing the ball forward but against Sweden he proved he can do that, and he did it better than anyone.
“The ball he played through to send Raheem Sterling clear is an example of what he has brought to his game during this World Cup. If Pirlo plays that ball we are sat here salivating over it, so why not when it is Jordan?
“But it is his defensive work as well – the ground he covered, was phenomenal putting out fires left, right and centre and being that protector of the top three when the other midfielders are in advanced areas.
Alan Shearer: “It is his work-rate and his pressing, the drive for his team. Against Sweden, when it came to the ugly side of the game that some players don’t like doing, he was magnificent at that.”
