Henderson hopeful on fitness for World Cup semi-final

The Liverpool midfielder was taken off five minutes from the end of the last-eight victory over Sweden at the weekend due to a tight hamstring.

But Henderson is confident the issue will not prevent him from lining up in Gareth Southgate's starting XI in Moscow.

"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," he said.

"But it doesn't feel too bad, so hopefully it'll be fine."

Henderson has not lost on any of his last 30 appearances for the Three Lions, a new record for the national team.
