Daniel Sturridge was unable to complete a full training session with England, raising doubts about his participation in Tuesday's game against Germany.

The striker trained with his team-mates for 45 minutes before he left the training field with the physio Steve Kemp. The Liverpool man has been carrying a thigh injury but said on Sunday that he was happy to play against the Germans.

Sturridge was not hobbling when he walked off the pitch, but the fact that he did not complete the session will be a concern for the manager, Roy Hodgson.

The good news for Hodgson is that England's captain, Steven Gerrard, the striker Rickie Lambert and defender Kyle Walker all trained despite missing the defeat to Chile through injury.

Jack Wilshere was also present despite suffering a dead calf at Wembley last Friday. Joe Hart, who has been on the bench for the last four Manchester City games, looked keen to impress, taking to the field 30 minutes early, along with his fellow goalkeepers Fraser Forster and John Ruddy.

After half an hour of aerobic work, Hodgson's squad split into two teams for a practice match.

The line-ups gave a hint as to who may start against Germany. Walker, Chris Smalling, Phil Jagielka and Ashley Cole lined up in front of Hart in what looked to be the first-choice XI.

The midfield consisted of Gerrard, Tom Cleverley, Adam Lallana and Andros Townsend. Wayne Rooney started just behind Sturridge up front. The Everton midfielder Ross Barkley replaced Sturridge when he went off, with Rooney pushing forward into the main striker's position.

Sturridge's potential setback also raises the question of whether the Liverpool striker will be fit to face Everton at Goodison Park in Saturday's derby.
