Theo Walcott "disappointed" not to make England's Euro 2016 squad

Theo Walcott has admitted that he is "disappointed" not to have been included in Roy Hodgson's England squad for Euro 2016.

The 27-year-old was omitted from the 26-man provisional squad, with Andros Townsend seemingly being preferred.

Walcott has struggled to cement a regular place in Arsenal's team this season, and missed the final day of the Premier League campaign on Sunday due to a hamstring problem.

After the squad was announced, Walcott tweeted: "I am of course disappointed not to make the squad, but I have spoken with Roy and respect his decision.

"I wish Roy and all the team the best of luck for a successful Euros."

Three players in the 26-man squad will be dropped before the start of the tournament next month.
