• Hodgson confirms Sturridge will start against Germany
• Southampton's Adam Lallana to keep place at left midfield
Daniel Sturridge will start for England against Germany on Tuesday night after the England manager, Roy Hodgson, said the striker had not suffered a recurrence of a thigh injury.
"The reason he came off after two sectors of the game we were playing this morning, was to give Rickie Lambert a chance also playing at centre-forward because there's a good chance, and we want to see him play tomorrow night as well as Daniel Sturridge," said Hodgson.
The England starting line-up was confirmed as the same team that wore bibs in a training session on Monday morning, with Adam Lallana keeping his place at left midfield. "I was more than satisfied with his performance against Chile," said Hodgson of the Southampton player.
Kyle Walker, Chris Smalling, Phil Jagielka and Ashley Cole will line up in defence with Joe Hart in goal. The midfield consists of Andros Townsend, Steven Gerrard, Tom Cleverley and Lallana. And Wayne Rooney will start just behind Sturridge in attack. Reported by guardian.co.uk 21 hours ago.
