England striker Daniel Sturridge has picked up another injury, potentially affecting his chances of being selected for the European Championship.
England manager Roy Hodgson says Sturridge has a calf injury that has prevented him from training and is a doubt to play in the warmup match against Australia on Friday. Hodgson has until Tuesday to finalize his 23-man squad for the tournament in France.
Sturridge has been beset by injury problems in recent years.
His latest injury increases the possibility of 18-year-old Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford’s fairytale season being extended to include Euro 2016.
Hodgson said Thursday that Rashford will make his debut against Australia in Sunderland — as a starter if Sturridge isn’t fit. Rashford only made his United debut in February.
