Daniel Sturridge returned to training on Monday as Roy Hodgson prepares to name his 23-man England squad for Euro 2016.

The Liverpool forward missed England's 2-1 victory over Australia at Sunderland's Stadium of Light last Friday because of a calf injury. 

He is the only player left in the squad who has not featured in the last two friendlies and Marcus Rashford's stunning international debut against the Aussies has left Sturridge vulnerable of being left out by Hodgson.

Rashford scored 138 seconds into his England debut and has since been dubbed as a "serious contender" for a spot in the squad by the England manager.

Hodgson must announce his final squad for the finals in France by Tuesday and two players will join midfielder Fabian Delph in missing out.
