Southgate said the Henderson boos 'defied logic' and 'would back him against pretty much everybody in the country in terms of what he stands for'.
Gareth Southgate vowed not to let a “popularity contest” sway his selections as the England boss threw his full support behind Jordan Henderson days after the stand-in skipper was jeered off at Wembley.
“I’ll always pick the players that I think are the best players to represent the team, that give us the best chance of winning, unless there’s something that I feel is not appropriate. “We’ll assess Jordan like every other player. But if I just select on a popularity contest, then our team would look very, very different.”
“I’ve not seen him comment anywhere differently. I don’t believe he’s an individual whose values and principles have changed.
