Henderson & McEachran free to return to clubs

Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson and Chelsea starlet Josh McEachran have both pulled out of the England Under-21 squad for the friendly against Israel at Oakwell on Monday evening. Henderson, who scored for England in their 6-0 Euro 2013 qualifying win over Azerbaijan on Friday, has been allowed to return to the Reds in order to prepare for their game with Stoke on Saturday. McEachran, meanwhile, has returned to Stamford Bridge as a precaution after picking up a slight hamstring strain. Tottenham defender Adam Smith, who is currently on-loan at MK Dons, has been called up to the squad for the first time.
