Henderson Hopeful Over Fitness For Croatia Clash
After suffering a hamstring injury, Jordan Henderson hopes to be fit for England's clash with Croatia at the World Cup.
England midfielder Jordan Henderson is hopeful over his fitness ahead of his team's World Cup semi-final against Croatia.
But the Liverpool captain believes he will be ready to face Croatia in Moscow on Wednesday.
"I was just a little bit tight before the game, so towards the last 20 minutes I just overstretched and I felt it a little bit," Henderson told UK newspapers.
"But it doesn't feel too bad, so hopefully it'll be fine."
Eric Dier replaced Henderson in the 85th minute of England's win against Sweden.
England coach Gareth Southgate said: "Hendo was feeling tightness in his hamstring, which was why we made the change.
"We'll just have to assess the bodies."
