'I still feel good': Henderson talks about retirement as he considers further England career

'I still feel good': Henderson talks about retirement as he considers further England career

Ahead of England's Nations League games against Italy and Germany, Jordan Henderson was asked if he felt that the upcoming World Cup is his last chance to represent the Three Lions at a major tournament.

"I hope not! I still feel good," the Liverpool captain said, as per the Mirror.

"I wouldn’t look too far ahead, I don’t think there is any need to, but it is another huge opportunity. We’ve done well in the last few tournaments and hopefully we’ve learnt from the experience of the last World Cup and Euros and take it into this tournament.

"I look at some players still playing internationals at 36 and 37. So it just depends on how you feel physically and I feel very good. I think last season I played more games than anyone else in Europe.

"So physically it's not an issue and I'm still excited being here with England. If that wasn't the case then obviously I would maybe think about that, but I'm always excited about being called. up.

"I want to be here and I want to show I can help the team become successful. Until that changes there's no reason to even think about that (packing it in)."

Henderson is 32 years old which is definitely not the end of a career for many players.

There are some concerns over his fitness, however, and his workload has been limited in recent months - but he has already proven his sceptics wrong over the course of his career.
