Terry could miss Euro 2012 opener

Chelsea's John Terry could miss England's Euro 2012 opener against France following reports that he is struggling with his hamstring.

The defender could only manage a light training session today, and faces a battle to reach full fitness ahead of Monday afternoon's game.

Roy Hodgson could face a selection headache with defensive pair Gary Cahill and Chris Smalling unfit, and Rio Ferdinand failing to make the squad.

Terry limped off with a hamstring injury during last weekend's 1-0 friendly victory over Belgium. He flew out to Krakow with the rest of the squad after undergoing a scan and getting the all-clear.

However, he has since been warned that sustaining a knock against France could sideline him for the rest of the tournament, The Mirror understands.

England's Euro 2012 campaign gets underway against France on June 11.
