Liverpool striker Danny Sturridge admits he carries a thigh injury into England's match with Germany.
A thigh injury kept Sturridge out of England's 2-0 defeat to Chile last week, and even though the problem has not fully healed, he is desperate to line up against the Germans.
He said: "This thigh injury has been lingering for a while and it's still frustrating me but I'm going to put the shirt on and try and perform as best as I can.
"I have been playing with it for the last couple of games and it has been hindering my performance.
"I had a scan and the scan showed it was similar to what it was before but it is not a problem for me.
"I am raring to go for the game. I am delighted that the pain is not as bad and I am looking forward to it."
