Liverpool midfielder Henderson: Sterling ready for big World Cup

Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson says Raheem Sterling is set for a big World Cup.

Both Reds youngsters are in England's World Cup squad.

"Raheem is a fantastic player. I think you've seen that in the Premier League and even when he's played for England," said Henderson.

"Possibly it could make him a secret weapon because he's not played [in the friendlies]. Obviously, he will have been disappointed he could not feature, but in training he has looked very, very good, so he'll be thriving on this.

"I think he's outstanding, has no fear. For such a young boy he's got great awareness and his knowledge of the game is really good. I think he can be a big plus for us in this World Cup."
