Former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has defended himself during the current international break.

Henderson, who moved to Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia in the summer, came in for huge criticism.

Many fans accused Henderson of betraying social causes he spoke about as a Reds player by moving to the Saudi Pro League.

"At the time, not really," replied Henderson to Channel 4 about regretting his move after the friendly against Australia last week.

"Of course it hurts [booing by England fans] because every time you put on that shirt it's a proud moment and I am playing for my team-mates, for my country and the fans really.

“So, of course it hurts but at the end of the day, that's part and parcel. I have had enough criticism over my career to be able to deal with that. I am not the first player to be booed and I probably won't be the last."
