boss Gareth Southgate says he understands why people think ’s decision to play in Saudi Arabia “doesn’t align” with his support of the LGBTQ+ community – but does not think that is a reason to boo him. Henderson was booed by a section of the Wembley crowd when he was substituted during England’s 1-0 friendly victory over on Friday.
