Round-upWorld Cup: Henderson and Van Dijk feature in Friday's games
Jordan Henderson and Virgil van Dijk were involved in Friday's World Cup fixtures.
Liverpool captain Henderson was a 69th-minute introduction in England’s Group B contest with USA at Al Bayt Stadium in Qatar.
The clash ended in a goalless stalemate, leaving the Three Lions in top spot in the section, one point ahead of Iran, who defeated Wales 2-0.
England will now require a point in their final group game, against the Welsh on November 29, to secure a place in the knockout stage.
Earlier in the day, Van Dijk completed the full 90 minutes as the Netherlands drew 1-1 with Ecuador at Khalifa International Stadium.
Cody Gakpo fired home to give the Dutch an early lead, but the South Americans claimed a point courtesy of an Enner Valencia equaliser.
The two teams sit in the two qualifying places in Group A, each a point ahead of Senegal, who beat Qatar 3-1 in the section’s other fixture.
Van Dijk’s nation can progress to the last 16 with a win or draw when they meet hosts Qatar on November 29.
