England midfielder Jordan Henderson insists he is ready to start against Germany in the round of 16 next Tuesday.
The Liverpool captain made his return in the win over Czech Republic, playing 45 minutes in the 1-0 victory.
On his fitness, Henderson said: "The toughest part of being an athlete is dealing with injuries. It wasn't easy. I'm in a pretty good place. It was great to get on the pitch finally in a competitive game and get 45 minutes under my belt.
"I feel really positive, and hopefully I can keep contributing to the team.'
Henderson also revealed that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp had been in touch after England and Germany were matched in the last 16.
He added: "Yes, he has texted. As soon as the final whistle went he just sent a smiley face emoji."
