TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 Special feeling to be back and surreal? It's part and parcel, I'd try and swerve it if I could! (Talking to media). I spent a lot of time thinking about being back with England, I've got a new appreciation of being here and it's a privilege.
01:30 My son is starting to understand football a bit since when he was born! Seeing him come to Wembley is the bit that means the most.
02:15 I'm really enjoying my football, had a good phase when we won the league but it's been different playing in different positions this season, I'm just embracing it.
03:06 Last time you were here you got injured? It had its toll on me, I went away in an ambulance but it's nice to close that chapter, leaving and never getting a chance to come back was difficult
04:00 Grateful to be here, you don't have to be here, Gareth picked me for my debut so nice to be reunited with him
05:05 Being versatile gives you an edge when it comes to making Euros squad? Premature to think ahead to that point, I'm enjoying playing different positions but see myself first as a centre-half
06:18 What's changed since you last here? It's changed a lot but coaching staff have stayed so lucky to have that stability, great squad with great players and the youth play at such a high level, it's nice to be in the mic and meet some of them for the first time, a nice balance
07:24 Van Dijk's influence on you? His ability and achievements speak for themselves, had similar phases with injury at same time, he can say what he wants because of who he is
08:26 Where has your increased confidence come from? Players want to play and nothing like that consistency, manager gives me the licence to be the best I can
09:11 I had Dubai booked! Naturally there was occasions when I felt I had more of a chance than others but early on I was focusing on getting back to a good place, wasn't expecting to be back right away, I've missed out on major tournaments but I've always been at peace with the outcome and never been fixated on it
11:00 Kobbie Mainoo initiation? I don't think so, it's probably daunting enough to come here! The group try and make new players feel comfortable, probably too much of an ask to have him stand on a chair and sing
11:58 Summer holiday planned? I don't wanna think too far in advance and focused on this week, being back on the pitch would be nice and we have a lot to play for at Liverpool t
