Jamie Carragher has revealed he's exchanged concerning text messages with Jordan Henderson amid his England snub for Euro 2024.

Gareth Southgate didn't name Henderson in his 33-man provisional England squad for Euro 2024.

He was replaced by an uncapped star, with Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford also left out of the initial party for this summer's tournament in Germany.

Henderson failed to get a call-up having left Liverpool for Saudi Arabia, where he joined Al Ettifaq. During the January transfer window, however, he left the Middle East for Ajax, penning a two-and-a-half-year deal.

The 33-year-old, who has 81 international caps to his name, made 31 appearances this season, including 12 games across all competitions for Ajax.

On The Overlap - brought to you by Sky Bet, Carragher revealed he has spoken to Henderson and believes he hasn't been himself.

He expressed his sympathies for the midfielder and called him a 'proper lad' in a glowing assessment.

The Liverpool legend said: "I spoke to Jordan [Henderson] weeks ago, on the text, and it was about putting something together for Jurgen Klopp, for Sky Sports. I could tell he wasn’t himself, and people have made a big deal about when they’ve watched it [the Klopp tribute video], saying 'Well why isn’t Jordan Henderson on it?' - it was sort of through me, and I get the feeling he was just thinking, 'I’m not speaking to the press'."

Carragher added: "I don’t know what the performances have been like, the results, I know it’s not been a great season for Ajax, that’s why they brought him in initially in January.

"I think there was an interview where a Dutch guy really put it on him, sort of said, 'your performance was really [bad], or something'.

"I could just feel, and I didn’t push him too much on the whole, 'can we organise this interview' - I just - you know what, he’s had a lot of stick the last 12 months, and some people might think rightly with the move to Saudi and now Ajax.

"I feel a little bit for Jordan Henderson, I don’t think he deserves it. I know him personally, there’s a lot of great footballers, Jordan’s a great footballer, but there’s less great footballers who are proper men, a proper lad. He’s a good lad, Jordan."
