WELBECK OR WON'T HE?

England will issue an injury update on Danny Welbeck on Wednesday as concerns grow over the fitness of the striker. The Manchester United star is believed to be nursing a thigh injury following the Three Lions training session at their Urca military base headquarters on Tuesday. Welbeck limped out of training holding his right thigh and if the 23-year-old is ruled out of contention for Saturday's clash with Italy his place in the starting XI would likely go to Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling. Meanwhile Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain continued his recovery from a knee injury by jogging several laps of the training pitch.
