Fabian Delph is set to miss this summer's European Championships with England.

The Manchester City midfielder has sustained a groin injury which has forced him out of Three Lions training and manager Roy Hodgson suggests the 26-year-old will find it tough to force his way int the final 23 for Euro2016.

"Unfortunately, he has strained a muscle in his groin area," said the boss ahead of Friday's friendly with Australia at the Stadium of Light.

"He's stayed in Manchester and I've made it clear to him that means probably he won't be with us either in the final 23, unless, of course, we have injuries.

"I've put him on a standby list actually, and he understands and accepts that.

"I don't think it's going to be a really long-term injury for him, so if I needed him and wanted him to come with us it's easy for me to call him and ask him to do so.

"But I have actually said to him with the situation we have with the other 25 players, it might be unlikely."
