Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson has opened up on the injury which ruled him out of Euro 2020.
Henderson was named in England's squad but had to withdraw before the start of the tournament.
Speaking to talkSPORT, Henderson said: "Listen, after last season it was very difficult for me.
"I worked every day, day in and day out, I was grinding down to get into that team at Man United.
"I went through every brick wall I could get through, I fought hard and when I got through into the team I was shattered, I was exhausted.
"I was mentally tired, I'd done everything right to get into the team but I'd used up all my energy worrying about getting into the team.
"So when I got into the team I had a good little run and then got injured and then I struggled.
"But I didn't want to give my place up with the Euros in sight and with what I'd done to get my shirt, so I went into the Euros.
"I so wanted to be fit, so I came in with a brave face on, but I couldn't dive. When I came into training I couldn't dive, I broke down after a week and I was devastated."
England eventually lost in the final to Italy, going down on penalties at Wembley on Sunday.
