HENDO’S ‘WORST’

- BY ANDY DUNN

JORDAN HENDERSON has admitted he is the “worst” for playing when he should limp off.

England will be without Dele Alli against Panama after he injured his thigh in the 2-1 victory over Tunisia.

Alli picked up the knock in the first half, but the Tottenham star battled on was sent back out after the break.

And Henderson (left) acknowledg­ed that players can try to disguise injury. He said: “You know, as a player, when an injury is bad enough you have to come off. But I’m one of the worst, wanting to battle through, though, if it’s affecting performanc­e, the manager and staff will be able to see.

“You have to be careful and know when it’s serious enough to put your hand up and come off.”
