England’s lucky charm Jordan Henderson is confident of shaking off a tight hamstring in time to play in Wednesday night’s World Cup semi-final against Croatia.

And striker Jamie Vardy has declared himself fully fit for the Moscow clash after overcoming the groin problem that had threatened to keep him out.

Henderson and Vardy, along with some of England’s fatigued stars, will continue to be assessed this week but manager Gareth Southgate is hoping to have a full squad to pick from.

Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford hurt his thumb while making a string of superb saves in the quarter-final success over Sweden, but he quickly recovered and will face Croatia.

Henderson was replaced by Eric Dier in the 85th minute of the victory against Sweden in Samara as a precaution, but is expected to be fit in time for the semi-final.
