Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard says England must take Manchester United's Wayne Rooney to the Euros.
Gerrard was speaking after scoring in Saturday's 1-1 draw with United.
"For me he has got to go, the talent that he is," said the Liverpool captain.
"He is that good a player I think you have to take the risk and take him.
"It is devastating he is out for the first three games, it is a massive blow for everyone.
"We will have to see who we come up against in the group games but we should progress from the group stages and then you need your best player out there with you to push on all the way to the final."
