England midfielder Jordan Henderson is hopeful over his fitness ahead of his team's World Cup semi-final against Croatia.
In feet, Jordan is just over 6 ft.
Short for a goalkeeper, but as we've seen, he makes up for it in skill. "Jordan's a player who has been underestimated for a long time".
The boys, who are students at Broadway Junior School, were at the Tall Ships event in Sunderland earlier this week, along with children from lots of Sunderland schools.
A nagging worry about England involved whether there is a structural weakness in Gareth Southgate's version of 3-5-2.
Southgate, a regular visitor to Everton games last season, gave him his debut in the friendly against Germany at Wembley in November 2017.
Everton's end-of-season awards were Pickford-heavy as he picked up Player Of The Season, Young Player Of The Season and Players' Player Of The Season.
A moment of uncertainty in an otherwise stellar performance against Sweden led to Pickford inadvertently punching his knee rather than the floor.
Interestingly before the tournament, Henderson was one of a number of players being bashed for his inclusion, but now people are wising up to his game and the characteristics he brings.
In a Jumpers for Goalposts-esque set up, England's cricket side split up into two teams - bibs vs non bibs - to see what this nerve-racking penalty business was all about before their net session.
Kick-off at the Luzhniki Stadium is at 7pm.
