After going through several traumatic events, Jordan Henderson has revealed that his friends and family might quit coming to his games.
Henderson’s family were among those endangered by security lapses at the Champions League final as well as by crowd disturbances during the Euro 2020 final.
Henderson’s family might not attend the 2018 World Cup in Qatar as a result of these events.
The midfielder did, however, indicate that they will make a choice closer to the tournament, provided he makes the squad.
What Did Henderson Say?
Henderson was speaking about the situation with his family ahead of England’s Nations League games against Italy and Germany.
He said to reporters: “My family and friends have had a couple of experiences over the last couple of years, which has really shocked them and probably put them off going to future games.

“My wife and kids had to try and get in a side door (at Wembley) which they wouldn’t let them in at the beginning. And they were trapped.”

“My dad said that, after the Champions League final, that was him done. Some of my family got caught up in it which wasn’t ideal.
“A lot of the players’ families got caught up outside the stadium. I think it was pretty horrific,” he added.
Initially not chosen for the team, Henderson was only called up to replace Kalvin Phillips, who was injured. England face Nations League relegation except they defeat Italy on Friday.
