Ox injury worries Hodgson

England manager Roy Hodgson is concerned about the fitness of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain just 10 days before their first World Cup match.

Oxlade-Chamberlain suffered an injury scare during the 2-2 draw with Ecuador in Miami when Carlos Gruezo kicked the bottom of his right foot and then, while rolling over exaggeratedly, landed on the back of the Arsenal midfielder's leg.

He was quickly taken off and Hodgson admitted at his post-match press conference that he was worried about the youngster, who also missed the end of the Premier League season with a groin injury.

Oxlade-Chamberlain was noticeably limping as he left the England dressing room and headed through the media mixed zone on his way out of Sun Life Stadium.

Hodgson said: "Oxlade-Chamberlain is the one that bothers me. His knee buckled under the the challenge as the player turned into him."

"He'll have a scan tomorrow, I'd imagine. When we've had the scan, we'll know more."

The England coach also confirmed Jack Wilshere and Luke Shaw were taken off in the second half as a precaution.

"It was cramp. We took them off for those reasons alone," he added.
