England keeper Hart: Parker appears to be fine

England goalkeeper Joe Hart suggests that midfielder Scott Parker is over his Achilles injury.

Much has been written about the Tottenham stars fitness in the lead-up to Euro2012 but Manchester City shot-stopper Hart believes he has fully recovered from the problem.

"You read and hear about Scott Parker and you have to actually ask him 'is anything wrong with you' and he's like 'no, not really', so it's interesting to listen to when you actually speak to the guy, he is absolutely fine," he told Sky Sports News.

Parker is expected to start in central midfielder alongside captain Steven Gerrard in England's Group D opener against France in Donetsk on Monday.
