Arsenal midfielder Theo Walcott is a doubt for England's game with Ukraine after complaining of a tight hamstring.The Gunners star was in line to start Tuesday's crucial showdown after he came off the bench to turn the game against Sweden but injury could now prevent that from happening.
Walcott was forced to pull out of training on Sunday and now Roy Hodgson has to decide whether to risk or rest the player for the final group game, when England just need a point to progress.
"He has a slight setback," Hodgson told BBC Radio Five Live. "We had to take the precaution of taking him from the field because he felt some tightness in the hamstring that kept him out for so long at the end of the season.
"Whether he is a real contender for a starting position will depend upon what the medical people can tell me and how much guarantee they can give me that if I do start him he won't be leaving the field after five minutes."
