Henderson focused on his game
Jordan Henderson insists he will "not do anything" to jeopardise his football career as he stands on the verge of making his England breakthrough.
The Sunderland midfielder is included in the squad for Wednesday's friendly with France at Wembley after a series of impressive performances this season.
Henderson was part of the Black Cats side which triumphed 3-0 at Stamford Bridge on Sunday and already the subject of speculation linking him with a move to Manchester United. But, at a time when certain players seem to be in the spotlight for the wrong reasons, Henderson is determined nothing will sidetrack him.
He said: "The main thing is I am just loving my football at the minute and just want to continue doing that. My mum and dad have been a good influence on me.
"They have brought me up really well, have always kept my feet on the ground and not let me get carried away. I just love playing football and I don't want anything to jeopardise that. I like to go in every day training and working hard. I don't drink or smoke. A good night for me is watching the highlights of the Chelsea game. That's me. I never go out.
"The only time I go out is Christmas night when the whole team goes out for team bonding and stuff like that. But I still won't drink or anything. I like music and a few of the Sunderland lads play table tennis at the academy but that's about it. I go training and go home."
