Henderson set to miss England internationals after sustaining ankle injury

  /  autty

Jordan Henderson is a doubt for England's double header matches against Bulgaria and Kosovo.

The midfielder hurt his ankle in a second-half collision with Aaron Lennon in Liverpool's 3-1 win against Burnley at Turf Moor.

He tried to carry on but was substituted with ten minutes to go.

He will now be assessed by the Liverpool medical team ahead of reporting for the national squad.

Henderson is a key man in England manager Gareth Southgate's plans and it may be that Henderson will report and be given further treatment.

But Southgate is unlikely to take a chance and risk doing further damage.

England play Bulgaria at Wembley on Saturday and then face Kosovo at Southampton.
