Jordan Henderson targets England's World Cup squad

Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson has insisted that he is confident of securing a place in the England squad for the 2014 World Cup finals.

The 22-year-old was left out of the Three Lions' team for their final two qualifiers by manager Roy Hodgson.

"I think everyone wants to play for England at the end of the day," he told reporters.

"It's a massive opportunity and to play for your country is a real honour but all I can do is keep playing well for Liverpool and keep working hard.

"There's nothing more I can do. When it comes to selection, it's up to the England manager to select the best squad he can for the upcoming games."

Henderson has played every minute of every Premier League match for Liverpool so far this season.
