Gareth Southgate is one of the many managers picking his team in June

#3 Jordan Henderson (England)

England v Italy - International Friendly
The Liverpool captain could take on the captaincy in Russia

Henderson took up the captain's armband during the match against Holland. Known for his leadership role at Liverpool, he may be England's captain during the World Cup as the team requires a figure that everyone can look up to. Having represented England in Euro 2012, Euro 2016 and the 2014 World Cup, Henderson surely fits the bill.

The experienced box-to-box midfielder put up a great showing in the Three Lions' win against the Dutch side. That impressive performance certainly added to the possibility of him receiving a call-up for the World Cup.

A hardworking player in the team, his presence will benefit the rest of the squad. Southgate should be looking forward to welcoming Henderson as one of the leaders of his squad.
