England's Hodgson not worried about injury to Arsenal's Welbeck

England manager Roy Hodgson is not too stressed about the injury sustained by Danny Welbeck on Sunday.

The Arsenal striker limped out of England's 1-0 Euro2016 qualifying win over Estonia in Tallinn with an ankle problem in the 80th minute but the Three Lions boss does not believe it is serious.

"I don't think he's injured. He just rolled his ankle slightly. The doctors are not worried about it," said Hodgson.

The news will come as a relief to Gunners fans as the north London club already have nine players out of action including Mesut Ozil, Aaron Ramsey, Mikel Arteta, Olivier Giroud, Mathieu Debuchy, Serge Gnabry, Yaya Sanogo, Theo Walcott and Laurent Koscielny.
