England boss Roy Hodgson has admitted that Arsenal winger Theo Walcott has suffered a hamstring injury during training.

The 23-year-old was made the difference in Friday night's 3-2 win over Sweden after coming on a substitute in the 60th minute for James Milner.

With the Three Lions 2-1 down, Walcott smashed hom an equaliser before setting up Danny Welbeck for the winger.

However the winger is now a major concern ahead of their final Group D match against Ukraine on Tuesday.

"Unfortunately he had a slight setback in training," boss Roy Hodgson told BBC Radio 5 Live. "He felt hamstring that kept him out last season."
