Liverpool star has reportedly told pals he fears missing out on England’s Euros squad
Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson returned to training on Friday for his first proper football session since February. The 30-year-old is working his way back to full fitness after recovering from the groin surgery he had three months ago. Henderson missed most of the second half of the campaign, and the Liverpool star fears he could be omitted from England’s European Championship squad. According to The Sun, the midfielder has told close pals he is deeply concerned that his return to training may have come too late for him to make Gareth Southgate’s 26-man list. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp reckons he has a chance, but Southgate may not be keen on taking someone lacking match fitness and rhythm to the Euros when other options are available. England have two friendly games scheduled aga...
‘I really feel for him’ – Ian Wright reacts to Liverpool star’s rumoured Euros heartbreak
Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold boosted his side’s chances of playing Champions League football next season with a perfect delivery that Alisson clinched the winner from against West Bromwich Albion at the weekend. The 22-year-old’s seventh Premier League assist of the campaign might end up being his most important one, and Liverpool are without a doubt glad to have such a quality player within their ranks. Alexander-Arnold is one of the best right-backs on the planet, but he is likely to be watching this summer’s European Championship from home as a fan.

And, in January 2008, we got a glimpse of it at its very best.

Wilfred Ndidi: Why Leicester City move was very scary for me
Wilfred Ndidi claimed he saw his move to Premier League side Leicester City as an opportunity rather than getting carried away with pressure. After three seasons at Belgian top-flight side Genk, the Nigeria international joined the Foxes in a transfer deal worth £17 million. At that time, the King Power Stadium giants were reigning English champions, plus they needed a replacement for N’Golo Kante who had joined Chelsea on a five-year deal. The Frenchman played a starring role in Leicester’s English top-flight-winning campaign where he made 40 appearances while helping France reach the final of Euro 2016. Despite adapting to life quickly at the Luminus Arena after his move from Nigeria’s Nath Boys Academy, Ndidi said he saw an opportunity to ‘develop’, thus, embraced the burden of expectat...
