Dean Henderson Shows FA Cup Tattoo While Bowling at England Camp

dean henderson was pictured bowling during cricket leisure time at England's World Cup camp, and the FA Cup trophy tattoo on his arm was visible in the image. The 29-year-old goalkeeper is the only Crystal Palace player involved with England at the World Cup, with the club set to secure at least £2m from the tournament.

Henderson And England Camp

The image shows Henderson with his arm stretched out as he bowls, and the tattoo sits at the top of that arm. He has been in England's camp while Crystal Palace remain represented by 12 players across the tournament.

His place in the squad comes with a limit on his minutes for Crystal Palace fans to watch. He is unlikely to feature unless Jordan Pickford and James Trafford become unavailable.

Crystal Palace And Wembley

The tattoo also points back to a summer that Palace supporters have not forgotten. Henderson played a key role in the club's 1-0 win over Manchester City at Wembley last summer, and the FA Cup trophy ink keeps that success visible even in a casual camp photo.

He moved from Manchester United to Crystal Palace for £20m in August 2023, and the switch did not click immediately. The goalkeeper is now viewed as having embraced the club, after helping them win three trophies.

Wharton Misses Out

Adam Wharton was overlooked in favour of Jordan Henderson, leaving Dean Henderson as Palace's lone player in England's World Cup group. That leaves one familiar face for Palace fans to track, even if the wider squad presence still runs to 12 players in the tournament.

Crystal Palace's return from the World Cup will carry that same detail with it: one goalkeeper, one tattoo, and one photo that tied the club's trophy history to England's camp. Henderson's caption on the image read, "Dean Henderson rolling back the years to his cricket days ?? /AtVtJVGeZ5"
