Welbeck hands Arsenal injury scare in England training

Arsenal signing Danny Welbeck has broken down in England training.

The Daily Mail says Welbeck picked up an ankle knock in England training at London Colney on Tuesday but could still be fit enough to play some part against Norway.

The Three Lions welcome Per-Mathias Hogmo's side to Wembley on Wednesday for their first game since being knocked out in the group stage of this summer's World Cup.

Roy Hodgson has refused to rule Welbeck out of the friendly, but his injury means that he is likely to begin the match on the bench.

The 23-year-old, who made a £16million deadline day switch from Manchester United to Arsenal, looks likely to be available for England's first Euro 2016 qualifier against Switzerland.
