England have not escaped the curse. Danny Welbeck has been ruled out due to a knee injury, handing Marcus Rashford his big international break, and goalkeeper Jack Butland is also out of the tournament after he broke his ankle during England's victory over Germany.
Some players have been luckier than others. Joe Ledley's hopes of playing for Wales appeared to be in tatters after he broke his leg playing for Crystal Palace on 7 May, but he has made a miraculous recovery and will be fit to represent his country in France.
