No England concerns for Man Utd defender Smalling

The England team insist there are no worries with defender Chris Smalling.

The Manchester United centre-half was seen with an ice pack strapped to his knee after getting through training in the Three Lions' Euro2016 home base of Chantilly on Tuesday.

That sparked suggestions that Smalling was nursing a slight injury leading into Saturday's Group B opener against Russia but according to UEFA.com reporter Simon Hart, there are no worries regarding the 26-year-old.

Smalling himself also posted on Twitter to indicate that everything was fine having successfully completed England's second training session.
