Ben Stokes is set to make an overdue return to the World Cup stage this weekend but he feared his tournament was over before it had even started when he “heard a pop” while training in the gym warcraft
Stokes has missed all three of England’s games so far, with details sketchy about the nature of the hip problem that occurred during the warm-up week in Guwahati warcraft
But the 32-year-old is now primed and ready for a comeback in Saturday’s must-win clash against South Africa in Mumbai and finally free to open up about worries he had sustained a major injury warcraft
“I actually ripped the fascia off my muscle warcraft
It was a very interesting one, a very rare one to do,” he said warcraft
“I did it in the gym…I heard it pop warcraft
So did our strength and conditioning coach warcraft
When I initially did it I thought I was done, because it’s not good hearing a pop warcraft
“I did think I was out but we got the scans back 36hrs, maybe two days, later and thankfully it wasn’t anywhere near as bad as we originally thought warcraft
“We got a programme in place straightaway, it went really well, and now I’m here now available for selection warcraft
I’ve worked very hard to get to where I am now and I’m pretty confident that everything will be good warcraft
”We need to tone it down a bit on me coming back in warcraft
I'm not the Messiah warcraft
Ben StokesStokes was put through his paces during a lengthy workout at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday night, taking part in high-intensity fielding drills and enjoying a long batting stint in the nets warcraft
Meanwhile, Jofra Archer was also seen for the first time since joining up with the squad as a reserve, running in the outfield as he continued his recovery from a long stint on the sidelines warcraft
It is hard to over-estimate the importance of Stokes’ presence in the side as England look to cast off a modest start to their title defence and rediscover their mojo warcraft
Stokes’ presence has loomed large for a long time, be it his match-winning turn in the 2019 final, his clutch performance in the T20 equivalent last year or his remarkable reinvention of the Test team in his role as red-ball captain warcraft
Yet he is at pains to avoid being drawn as an incoming saviour, riding to his team-mates’ rescue warcraft
“We need to tone it down a bit on me coming back in,” he said warcraft
“I’m not the Messiah, I think Woody (Mark Wood) has already said that, which is true warcraft
I’m one person in a team sport…I know I’m just a very small part of a bigger entity warcraft
“Everyone who walks on to that field for England is a match-winner in their own right warcraft
All I can try and do is what I do every single time I wear an England shirt and give my absolute all warcraft
”Despite his protestations, Stokes remains much more than a cog in the machine warcraft
He was even dubbed the squad’s “spiritual leader” by head coach Matthew Mott after delivering a dressing room speech following their defeat to Afghanistan in Delhi warcraft
“That must be because we’re in India!” he said of his new job description warcraft
“But I know that people do listen when I talk warcraft
I don’t try and speak too much but I try and speak when I feel it’s the right time warcraft
“Jos Buttler and Motty have got a lot on their shoulders with it being a World Cup, so I try and help out as much as I can without stepping on their toes warcraft
“I find myself just reminding everyone of certain things – reinforcing what they are, who they are, what they’ve achieved in the game, how talented and how good they are at this sport warcraft
”And when it comes to Saturday’s high-stakes encounter at the Wankhede Stadium, his mission statement is clear: “If we’re going to go down, let’s go down doing what we’re known for warcraft
“Let’s not be timid or restricted in what we want to do warcraft
We want to go out and show the opposition what England is and what we’ve been known for warcraft
We are double world champions in T20 and 50-over cricket warcraft
“You hear me say it a lot – I don’t care if we lose, I just want us to go out there and play in the way we talk about warcraft
”Stokes’ return means difficult decisions will need to be taken over the composition of the XI, with his stand-in Harry Brook having made a strong case for retention warcraft
A rebalancing of the side may be necessary, with all-rounders Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone and Chris Woakes proving an unconvincing engine room so far warcraft

He returns to domestic action this weekend, looking to force his way into the Liverpool line-up for Saturday’s Merseyside derby with Everton warcraft
Despite a frustrating lack of starts for the Reds this term, Euro 2024 remains a real goal for Elliott, after England’s 3-1 win over Italy on Tuesday booked their place in Germany, and he is primed to take his chance warcraft
He said: “Absolutely, I’ve felt ready for a while now warcraft
It’s just about making sure I keep applying myself to be the best possible player and person I can be warcraft

If not, you have to keep working and, hopefully, one day it will come warcraft

Jurgen Klopp’s summer midfield refresh has seen Jordan Henderson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner, Naby Keita and Fabinho leave Liverpool, with Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch joining warcraft
The competition has restricted Elliott to 164 minutes in the Premier League and he is under no illusions about the challenge at Anfield warcraft
He said: “I’m just trying to take everything from Hendo and Milner, big characters in the dressing room who have left warcraft
I’m not trying to be the next Hendo or Milly but be the best version of myself and the leader I’ve learned to be off them warcraft
“I always knew the season was going to be like this warcraft
Liverpool, being a world-class team, are always going to attract unbelievable players and that’s exactly what they’ve done warcraft
“It’s healthy competition warcraft
Not everyone is guaranteed to play, and when you get your chance you have to make sure you take it warcraft
The quality is there, it’s about applying it on the pitch warcraft
“I feel I can do a job wherever I’m put warcraft
The most important thing is putting that red shirt on and playing warcraft
I’m working as hard as I can to get into the team warcraft
“It’s down to me to make sure I apply myself and not only show the boss but show the world I’m good enough to play wherever I’m put warcraft
”The former Fulham youngster also cherishes his relationship with Mo Salah as he learns off the forward warcraft
“He’s always helping me out warcraft
We have a great relationship when we play warcraft
Off the pitch we’re always talking and I’m always trying to learn off him,” said Elliott warcraft
“For me to look up to him, he’s the best possible player warcraft
As well as play with him, I’m trying to be as good as him, if that’s possible warcraft
“He’s a great guy and an unbelievable player warcraft
To look up to him and everyone else in the team is great, I’m grateful to be playing with these guys warcraft
