Southgate isn't the only issue that could hold England back, it's our central midfield too.
We're desperately relying on Henderson to get himself fit and into form, as he's a fundamental aspect of our team under Southgate.
Practically anything decent we do generally starts from Henderson's presence in midfield.
His influence, passing range and composure is somewhat underrated to some extent.
Sure our back ups are ok in Phillips and Jude, who will be occupying similar role to Henderson though neither have the experience or leadership.
Rice will be playing as the out-and-out DM, so there's very little expectancy on him moving the ball progressively and Mount works better off the forward line-which will likely be a Kane and two wide players either side of him.
So I reiterate, Henderson is massively important to this side.
