Liverpool FC central midfielder Jordan Henderson is hoping that his good run of form for the Reds leads to a summer trip to Rio as part of the England World Cup Squad, according to The Liverpool Echo.
23 year old Henderson has been an ever present for the Reds so far this season and credits his move to Liverpool as a key in regaining his England senior squad place.
Although he has not featured with the senior squad since the 2012 European Championships, he was captain of the U21s until he became ineligible due to age.
“Everybody wants to play for England and I am no different,” said Henderson, who has five caps for the senior side.
Henderson has been used in a variety of positions – including at right-back – in his two-year stint at Liverpool but still feels he has improved “100%” after making the switch from the Stadium of Light.
And he hopes to continue making strides at Anfield so that he can win his place back in the England squad in time for next summer’s World Cup.
“I still have a long way to go to be where I want to be,” Henderson added.
“I need to improve. But if I keep playing well then hopefully I will get an opportunity with England.
“I feel as though I have improved 100% since I have come to Liverpool. I look at my game when I was younger, and you compare my game now I think I have improved massively. Hopefully I can carry that on.”
