England captain Wayne Rooney has said that Italy will provide a "good test" for his side in their friendly on Tuesday evening.

The Three Lions have won all seven of their games since crashing out of the World Cup at the group stages last summer.

In their opening match of that tournament they suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Italy, but instead of looking backwards, Rooney is focusing on achieving success at the European Championships next summer.

"We have to move on from the World Cup," he told reporters. "We've played really good football since then - our aim is to reach the Euros.

"Tomorrow will be a good test and we are looking forward to it."

Roy Hodgson has confirmed that Rooney will partner fellow striker Harry Kane against the Azzurri in Turin.
