What he said:
“I don’t know how much I’m going to play.”
“I’ll speak to the manager Gareth Southgate and whatever he wants me to play I’m happy to. It’s Gareth’s call.”
“It’s a huge honour for the Football Association to grant me this game,” “It’s an important game because there will be money raised for children’s charities.
“To play and be involved in the squad, see some old team-mates and Gareth Southgate, and some of the coaching staff, will be a great moment.
“To pull on the England jersey again in front of the fans will be a way of me to say thank you for the support they’ve shown me over my time playing for England.”
