'Does he do card tricks? Does he have a sing-song?': Roy Keane blasts decision to take Henderson to Euros

"I was convinced Jordan [Henderson] was going to play the other day," Roy Keane told ITV ahead of England's friendly against Romania.

"I think it's a huge distraction - he's clearly not fit. I don't think he should be involved. If he can't start against Romania, he's not fit.

"Physically and mentally, this game won't be that tough for him to deal with, he's an experienced player.

"He's not kicked a ball for three and a half months and he's going to European Championship? He can't be right.

"I've heard a lot of people say they want him around the place. For what?" Keane wondered later.

"Does he do card tricks? Does he have a sing-song? Does he do quizzes in the evening? What does he do?

"Liverpool won't be happy either. Surely Jordan doesn't want to be around the place being some sort of cheerleader, you want to play and clearly he's nowhere near it."

We don't know if 45 minutes that Henderson did play against Romania ater coming off the bench is a period of time that is enough to change Keane's mind.

Still, the hope is that the Liverpool skipper will not be rushed into the team, especially since today was his first game since February 20.
