Roy Hodgson: "Theo Walcott is fit"

England manager Roy Hodgson has confirmed that Theo Walcott is fit to face co-hosts Ukraine tomorrow evening.

Doubts over the Arsenal winger's availability had arose after he was forced to withdraw early from training yesterday afternoon with a hamstring injury.

However, Hodgson has revealed that he has a fully fit squad for the encounter, saying: "Theo Walcott is fit for the Ukraine game and we don't have any injury concerns."

Many reports have tipped Walcott to start in place of James Milner against Oleg Blokhin.
