According to the latest report from the Daily Mail, Chelsea insiders speak highly of Henderson, and he is fully aware of his off-field responsibilities.

It is reported that after a month of adjustment training, Henderson is finally close to being included in Chelsea's squad and has joined full training. His left arm, which suffered an accidental fracture during the World Cup, is still in a protective bandage. He has been in the final stages of rehabilitation since last week.

Chelsea will face Brentford away on Friday night, and several sources at the Cobham training base have praised Henderson, calling him "meticulous," "the last to leave," and "obsessed" (in a positive football sense).

Stories shared include: when Henderson joined, his teammates were still on a pre-season tour in Australia and Asia. While waiting for the team to return, Henderson immediately started training in the training ground's gym.

His arm injury limited his playing ability, but he understood that Chelsea brought him in not only to contribute on the field but also to help off it. Therefore, despite being unable to play, he has insisted on attending every home and away game to maintain contact with the squad.

Henderson was well aware that he was joining a young squad, and young players are often reluctant to report problems to management, so he saw this as one of his responsibilities. He could understand Chelsea's young players because he had been through the same stage himself.

It is said that he spared no effort to tap the potential of young players and create the best conditions for their development, much like Welbeck. Henderson's move to Chelsea was also strongly recommended by Dave Fallows.

Fallows previously worked for Liverpool and joined Chelsea as Sporting Director in November last year. According to sources, one of his responsibilities is to conduct background checks on potential recruits. They didn't need extensive vetting of Henderson, as Fallows was well aware of the discipline and experience he could bring to the team.

Similarly, Chelsea's team doctor, former England medical director Bryce Cavanagh, also vouched for him. All of Chelsea's sporting directors understand Henderson and his leadership qualities, and Ancelotti has also expressed his appreciation for this. Now he is waiting to play.
