Hodgson insists Chelsea's Sturridge over bug scare

England coach Roy Hodgson has shrugged off bug concerns for Chelsea striker Danny Sturridge.

Sturridge is suffering from stomach cramps and missed England's training session this morning.

"Daniel actually trained yesterday with these stomach cramps and complained of them but he still got through the training session," Hodgson told a media conference.

"Today he woke up with the same sort of stomach cramps and the doctor advised us to keep him out of training and to see how things are when he wakes up tomorrow. The doctor is actually quite confident he is going to be okay."
