Daniel Sturridge has given England an injury scare ahead of the European Championship after suffering a calf problem.

Sturridge missed training at the Manchester City Academy on Wednesday and Roy Hodgson is planning to give Manchester United teenager Marcus Rashford a chance to stake his claim in the warm-up game against Australia on Friday.

It remains to be seen how serious Sturridge’s knock is, and the indications last night were his absence from training was more precautionary and he could yet feature himself on Friday.
