Roy Hodgson: Scott Parker could miss Euro 2012

England manager Roy Hodgson has admitted that Scott Parker could miss Euro 2012 with an Achilles tendon injury.

The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder was named in Hodgson's 23-man squad for the tournament on Wednesday.

However, Hodgson has revealed that he may need to find a replacement if the problem does not clear up.

"Scott's had an injection which will probably take a week for us to see if it's been successful or not," he told reporters.

"He could still miss out, although from what I'm hearing, it won't be a problem. He's very confident.

"I'm very optimistic. The doctor spoke to Scott Parker and Spurs on Wednesday, so I'm confident - but I can't give a guarantee."

Liverpool's Jordan Henderson, who was named among the replacements, would be likely to take Parker's place in the squad.
