England coach Roy Hodgson wants honesty from Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry over his groin injury.

The London Evening Standard says Hodgson will demand honesty from Barry later today if the scan on his groin injury proves inconclusive.

Barry was forced off less than 30 minutes after he was introduced as a half-time substitute in Saturday's 1-0 win over Norway.

The Manchester City midfielder immediately informed Hodgson he would require a scan to discover the extent of the damage, which could put paid to his hopes of appearing at Euro 2012.

Yet the scans cannot always determine the full damage, so, with England's official 23-man squad due to be submitted to UEFA by midday tomorrow, Hodgson may need a bit of selfless guidance.
