Declan Rice, James Maddison react to Jordan Henderson’s message after development
Declan Rice and James Maddison reacted to a social media post from former Liverpool star Jordan Henderson following Ajax’s hard-fought Europa League victory on Thursday.
Despite the Dutch side losing 2-1 to Union St Gilloise on 20 February, the England midfielder’s side qualified for the round of 16 on a 3-2 aggregate score following 30 minutes of extra time.
While Henderson has become somewhat of a controversial figure in football since leaving Anfield, he is still very much seen as a legendary figure by the passionate fanbase.
He led the Reds to their first Premier League title in 30 years, and Mohamed Salah might just be about to deliver the same to Liverpool for the first time since that moment.

The defender has been heavily linked with a to move Real Madrid, with Football Insider understanding that the Reds do not expect a final decision from the Liverpool star on his future until the end of the campaign.
