Until that latest injury he was more or less always available, always playable every three days. He had this consistency in his game and in his body, which made him very unique.
He was decisive for England, he took responsibility, he bounced back after a decisive and dramatic penalty miss [Euro 2020 final].
It’s nice to see that he’s back because he wanted to be back, and you straight away see when he comes in, he is comfortable to be with the squad. He knows what it takes to be a national player.
He came into camp with a little bit of discomfort from the last match against Southampton, so we took care of him and treated him individually.
It was the first training session that he started and finished with the group today. Yesterday, he started with the group but did not finish with the group, so let’s see.
