Jermain Defoe to head back to England Euro 2012 base tomorrow

Jermain Defoe will rejoin his England teammates tomorrow following the funeral of his father.

The Tottenham Hotspur striker discovered that his father had passed away a fortnight ago, before the Three Lions' opening Group D clash against France.

The 29-year-old left the national team's Euro 2012 training base in Krakow, Poland earlier this week to attend his father's funeral on Wednesday but it has been confirmed that Defoe will return to Eastern Europe tomorrow.

Roy Hodgson will now have a full squad to choose from with all four strikers including Wayne Rooney, Andy Carroll, Danny Welbeck and Defoe all available for England's quarter-final clash with Italy on Sunday.
