Steven Gerrard slams 'disrespectful' Chelsea theory involving Jordan Henderson

Steven Gerrard has leapt to the defence of Jordan Henderson , insisting that he shouldn't be pigeonholded as a 'squad player' at Chelsea. The 36-year-old midfielder, whom the Blues signed on a free transfer in the summer, following the expiration of his contract at Brentford, has hit the ground running at Stamford Bridge, silencing many of his critics. On Saturday afternoon, Henderson fired Chelsea to an emphatic 5-1 win over Bournemouth , scoring two excellent goals and providing an assist for Morgan Rogers.
