Restoring trust in Henderson ‘will take some time’ for LGBTQ+ community
Jordan Henderson, May 3, 1013

ENGLAND midfielder Jordan Henderson should expect “some tough times” from the LGBTQ+ community when he returns from Saudi Arabia, according to a European supporters’ equality campaign group.

Former Liverpool captain Henderson signed for Saudi Pro League side al-Ettifaq in a lucrative but controversial move last summer.

The 33-year-old looks set for a return to Europe after reportedly reaching an agreement with al-Ettifaq to terminate his contract and sign for Dutch giants Ajax.
