Manchester City midfielder Fabian Delph has been ruled out of England's 23-man squad for next month's European Championship in France because of a groin strain. "I've actually put him on the standby list, which he understands and accepts. (England capable of matching anyone at Euro 2016, says Wayne Rooney)"I've made it clear to him that this means he probably won't be with us in the final 23 – unless, of course, we have injuries. Hodgson said Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge, who missed England's 2-1 win over Turkey last weekend in the first of three warm-up games for Euro 2016, had not trained for two days because of a calf problem. (Euro 2016: Jamie Vardy, Harry Kane in England's provisional squad, Theo Walcott left out)Coach Roy Hodgson said on Thursday that Delph, who has struggled with injuries this season, would miss Friday's friendly against Australia in Sunderland and will now only be on his standby list for the tournament.
