Yeah, I think it's one of the hardest things, being injured as a footballer.

I can't tell you how hard it is, and obviously missing out on the tournament, the Euros, last time was very difficult.

But, no, I'm just delighted that it's in the past now and we're here at the World Cup.

Yeah, I think it definitely makes you stronger mentally.

Now that I'm here, sitting here, thinking back about how hard it was...

Yes, it was tough, tough times.

But now, just happy, happy to be here now.

Try not to focus on the past and focus here.

Yeah, all good.

No, it's good.

It's exciting for myself as well, playing with Dolk.

I think he's a good player, young player, exciting.

So I think we're still getting used to each other, what we are.

what we do and how we link up, and also defensively, positions we're working on every day in training, so it's been good getting to know him better as a person, and the link-up's been good, so looking forward to the games.
