England coach Gareth Southgate admits he is concerned Jordan Henderson will run out of time to get match fit for the Euros.

Liverpool captain Henderson underwent groin surgery last month and is “very optimistic" he will be fit in time for this summer's tournament.

Southgate said: “In terms of promises, we can only say that Hendo himself is very optimistic about how the operation went and the prognosis that the specialist his given him as to what is possible.

"But of course we are conscious that with any injury of that nature, there is a guide and a time defined, but that anything can happen along the way. We know it is going to be close to the end of the season, we will just have to see how it goes.

"He will give himself every chance of being available. And of course we also know he is likely to be a bit short of match minutes in high level games.

“There are a lot of things to take into consideration but at the moment that is a decision that is a few weeks away."
