Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson insists he feels ready to give his all for England at Euro 2016 after an injury hit campaign with his club.

The Reds skipper made his first appearance of the tournament on Monday against Slovakia but could not prevent the England from being held to a disappointing 0-0 draw in Saint-Etienne.

"I've said before this has been the toughest season of my career so far, just because of injury, playing with injuries and stuff like that," the 26 year old said.

"It has been difficult, mentally, physically, so even to be here is an honour for me really because I didn't think I was going to be here. Monday was big for me.

"I always felt if I kept working hard and training hard I'd get an opportunity, and it came and hopefully the manager was happy with the contribution I made.

"I think the midfielders have done very well. Dele Alli has been brilliant, Eric Dier has been brilliant and Wayne Rooney has been fantastic. So there's a lot of competition in the middle of the park but that goes for every area of the pitch.

"It's down to the manager and what team he feels he needs to win the game, but I feel ready, I feel good."
