England manager Roy Hodgson admits Tottenham midfielder Scott Parker is a doubt for Euro 2012.
The tireless Parker has become an integral part of the England team over the past few seasons but could be a huge miss as the tournament edges closer.
Hodgson, who named his squad on Wednesday, is unsure whether Parker will be available, but remains optimistic.
Scott s had an injection which will probably take a week for us to see if it s been successful or not, Hodgson told reporters.
He could still miss out, although from what I m hearing, it won t be a problem. He s very confident.
We ve got until the 29 May to finalise the squad and I may still have a call to make on that one if it s looking dubious, if there is a doubt.
I ll have that call to make. Do I take the risk and go with a doubt and hope for the best or do I say I m sorry, I ve selected you in my 23 players, but now I have to remove you ?
I m very confident that won t happen. I m very optimistic. The doctor spoke to Scott Parker and (Tottenham) on Wednesday so I m confident, but I can t give a guarantee.
If Parker does miss out, Liverpool midfielder and stand-by Jordan Henderson could take his place for the tournament in Poland and Ukraine.
