Roy Hodgson aware of Andriy Shevchenko danger

Hodgson wary of Shevchenko threat

England manager Roy Hodgson is under no illusions that his Three Lions side will have an easy ride against Ukraine tomorrow evening.

England's defence are expected to deal with Ukraine's star striker Andriy Shevchenko in the Group D clash in Donetsk after the 35-year-old completed a training session today, despite dealing with a knee injury.

"Andriy Shevchenko is a world class player too and his CV and record in international football and club football provokes no discussion and I'm sure Oleg Blokhin will be very keen to get him on the field beauase he's a potential match winner," said Hodgson.

England need to gain one point in the clash to progress into the quarter-finals of the tournament.
