Rice expected to step up in Henderson's absence during England camp
Summary

Jordan Henderson will miss time with the England national team after suffering a broken arm from a fall following the match against Mexico. The injury leaves a significant leadership void due to Henderson's experience and influence within the squad. Declan Rice is anticipated to take on increased responsibilities, as he is part of the leadership group and has previously captained West Ham. Rice's role will be critical as England moves forward in the competition without Henderson, who is recovering in hospital following surgery.
