Theo Walcott to start on bench?

Walcott to start on bench?

Reports this afternoon have claimed that Theo Walcott will start England's final group game at Euro 2012 against co-hosts Ukraine as a substitute.

The Arsenal winger was thought to have played himself into the starting lineup following his impact from the bench during England's 3-2 win over Sweden last Friday.

However, he suffered a slight hamstring injury in training over the weekend, which is still believed to be concerning manager Roy Hodgson.

Should Walcott fail to make the lineup, it is likely to mean that James Milner will keep his place on the right side of midfield.
