“This might be the best day of my life,” a third said. And another added: “If true, I would be absolutely stunned!”

Henderson has been playing his football outside of England this season – he left Liverpool in the summer for the Middle Eastern riches of Saudi Arabia. The midfielder linked up with Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard at Al-Ettifaq.
However, he packed his bags and moved back to Europe in the winter, swapping the sun and sand for Dutch giants Ajax.
The report states uncapped Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones is expected to replace his former Reds captain, while another uncapped player is set to make the cut.

Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford is expected to be named as England’s third-choice goalkeeper, despite Arijanet Muric taking his spot between the sticks for Burnley due to a poor run of form in the Premier League.
Southgate will make his long list announcement at 2pm.
