Electronic Arts continues to share the regional covers for its upcoming FIFA 16 soccer simulator, this time showcasing the UK box art, which features, alongside the already-confirmed Lionel Messi, Liverpool FC capital Jordan Henderson.

FIFA 16 is the most anticipated sports game of the year, and in the last period, Electronic Arts has made a big spectacle of the game's cover stars.

The publisher has already presented the global cover, which stars FC Barcelona striker Lionel Messi, and it's also showcased a few regional variants, such as the one for Japan.

Now, it's time for UK fans to admire the cover of their version of the soccer simulator.

As you can see above, via the Twitter announcement, Lionel Messi is joined by Liverpool FC captain Jordan Henderson.

UK fans were able to vote on what other star joins Messi on the cover, and it seems that Henderson has managed to overtake Manchester City's Sergio Aguero, Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois, and Totenham's Harry Kane.

You can expect to see other regional covers for FIFA 16 in the following weeks, as EA presents the winners of the other regional votes.

The actual game is going to launch in North America on September 22, in Europe on September 24, and in the UK specifically on September 25.
