Bellingham on Henderson
Speaking in the Diary Room chair on England’s Twitter, Bellingham says Henderson is always giving him advice after he makes a mistake during a game.
“He’s always the loudest player on the pitch, which I love – you always know you’re in a game,” Bellingham said.
“He doesn’t let you switch off for one second and I think the best thing about him is, he’ll give you a bit of detail to help you after you’ve done something negative.
“But he’s the first person if you’ve done something positive to let you know. His performance yesterday was incredible – ran the game, scored a key goal and it was a pleasure to play with him.”

Bellingham is clearly enjoying playing alongside Henderson right now and the Liverpool captain is proving his worth to Gareth Southgate’s side right now.
The 32-year-old’s inclusion in the starting line-up against Wales last week raised a few eyebrows. But he has now put in two commanding displays from central midfield.
Liverpool fans will be hoping Henderson and Bellingham continue to build a strong relationship on and off the pitch.
England are set to face their toughest test of the tournament so far on Saturday in Didier Deschamps’ France side.
Henderson will be hoping his display against Senegal has earned him a starting place in Southgate’s midfield, alongside Bellingham and Declan Rice.
