Henderson loving life in England's goalkeepers' union

Dean Henderson is loving life as a member of England's goalkeepers' union at EURO 2024.

Jordan Pickford has played every minute in goal for the Three Lions in Germany but Henderson is training hard should an opportunity arise and to ensure his teammate is as ready as possible.

Speaking on Wednesday's episode of Lions' Den connected by EE, he revealed a little more about the camaraderie between the stoppers.

He said: "We're all pushing in the right direction and it's really good. We work as a unit so hopefully we're all helping Jordan in goal.

"The sessions Marge [Martyn Margetson, goalkeeping coach] puts on, I'd be surprised if another country's goalkeepers are working at a better level every day. It's all been good and that's why he [Pickford] is performing so well and has done for many years.

"We aim for 700 saves a week. That's the aim and then we are prepared for every outcome.

"Tom Heaton coming in has been great as well. He's a top fella and just to have him around with the experience he brings is great for the boys."

Henderson also revealed that the squad are in a good place after Sunday's 2-1 win over Slovakia booked their place in the last eight.

That mood was improved by a private gig from Ed Sheeran earlier this week.

The goalkeeper said: "He was incredible. The boys loved and it and we were talking the next day about how good it was. It brought the boys together.

"Dunky [Lewis Dunk] was the worst singer. Ivan Toney was top.

"We're in good spirits. We never gave up on Sunday and just to get that goal at the end – it's a great flick-on and finish – hopefully gives us momentum we can take into the next game. It has brought everyone even closer together."
