http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032, after it was revealed that the player was suffering from a minor knock.
The attacker came in off the bench in the game against Sweden and helped the team turn around the match and pick up a win.
Prior to him coming on, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015 were winning by two goals to one and it seemed like England were all set to lose the game.
However, a quick goal, followed by an assist for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-Welbeck-c10233 saw him turn the game around and help his side win the game by three goals to two.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 now set to take on Ukraine, they stand a very good chance of making it to the knock out stages.
Despite his contributions in the game, with just a couple of minutes left to go, it seemed like Walcott had tweaked or injured his hamstring. However, he later on got up and revealed that he was alright and could continue.
The player seems to still be feeling the after effects of that tweak, since Roy Hodgson has now revealed that he is not a hundred percent to feature in the upcoming game.
The England manager is reported to have said: "Unfortunately he had a slight setback in training"
"He felt the hamstring that kept him out for so long at the end of the season and which we were slightly concerned about when he came to us.”
"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, forcing us to have 13 men rather
than the 14 I would rather count on."
England will however be given some good news in the shape of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736, who is now eligible to represent the national side.
As a result, we can expect the Three Lions attacks to be a lot more effective and ruthless in the upcoming game, which could balance the odds in their favour, to progressing from the group.
