Euro 2016: England insist everyone is fit to face Iceland despite fears over fitness of Nathaniel Clyne
ENGLAND have insisted they have no injury worries ahead of their Euro 2016 clash with Iceland despite Nathaniel Clyne needing strapping on a knee problem.
Roy Hodgson’s side have been finalising preparations before they face the Nordic minnows in their last 16 clash in Nice on Monday.

But Liverpool defender Clyne rasied concerns today when he limped away from training with a large ice-pack wrapped around his leg.
FA officials maintain there is nothing to worry about and suggest Hodgson has a full squad of players to choose from for the big game.
But it is the latest niggle to blight the squad’s planning for Iceland, after captain Wayne Rooney turned up for training last week with heavy strapping on his ankle.

Rooney insisted at the time that he has been having tape on his ankle for six years, though since then he has not been pictured with any bandages.
And Clyne's Liverpool teammate Adam Lallana has also needed strapping and ice after training in the past few days, this time with a knock to the inside of his ankle.
