Gareth Southgate explains why Fabian Delph is the ideal replacement for Jordan Henderson against Croatia
Gareth Southgate said the decision to play Fabian Delph against Croatia in place of the injured Jordan Henderson was to provide his side with more balance.Liverpool midfielder Henderson was expected to start the crucial Nations League match, but was absent from the matchday squad when it was announced ahead of kick-off.Jordan has been carrying a bit of an injury,” he told Sky Sports. “He got some game time [against USA], but was not fully happy with it.“He is one of those players who always wants to play and I had to take a decision.In these games you have to be clear in your mind and perfectly happy [with your decision].Modric was the Player of the Tournament at the World Cup and then won UEFA Men’s Player of the Year2
