Liverpool fans have called out Jordan Henderson after a clip with Dan Burn emerged from the England camp.
Burn entered his first England camp having scored in Newcastle United’s 2-1 victory over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final last Sunday.
He received a shock call-up ahead of England’s World Cup qualifiers later this month, with ex-Liverpool captain Henderson also earning a spot in Thomas Tuchel’s first squad since his appointment.
The players arrived at St. George\s Park on Monday and went through their paces, with an under-21 star training with the senior squad.
Upon arrival, Newcastle’s Carabao Cup triumph over Liverpool was replayed on the big screen, with Burn rewatching his header that put his side in the lead.
The towering defender was rewatching the final alongside Henderson, who could be seen laughing and making a joke at his international colleague.
Henderson’s exchange with Burn angered Liverpool fans considering his spell at Anfield.
One X user wrote: “Its not that serious but a former Liverpool captain and Sunderland fan having a laugh with a Newcastle player that scored and won against Liverpool is kinda wild if you think about it.”
A second tweeted: “Something funny, Hendo?”
A third added: “Our skipper once upon a time by the way.”
Henderson enjoyed 12 years at Liverpool and won the Premier League and Champions League during his spell at the club.
He moved to Saudi Arabia in the summer of 2023 before returning to Europe in the shape of a switch to Ajax.
His recent form has not gone unnoticed, with Tuchel selecting the 34-year-old.
“Jordan is a serial winner,” Tuchel explained.
“He’s captain of Ajax. What he brings to every team is leadership, character, energy and personality.
“He makes sure everyone lives by the standards. He embodies everything we try to build. We want to build a team our fans are proud of.”
The German boss added: “We had this phone call a few weeks ago where I wanted to check in, introduce myself and see how he feels about this idea and if he was ready. It was a video call because at least you can see reactions.

“He appreciated it. I didn’t call him with an unknown number, I texted him before. For me, it was so nice to see his genuine reaction. He is a serial winner with over 80 caps and just the pure joy and how humble he was to take this decision. It was very impressive.”
