on the injury list for England's Euro 2016 qualifier
against Estonia.
Danny Ings has been ruled out of England's Euro 2016
qualification clash against Estonia, meaning he misses out on
the chance to make his international debut.
The Liverpool striker, 23, has been celebrating his maiden call-
up to the senior squad, but has been suffering with an ankle
injury, the same issue that will also keep Wayne Rooney out of
the game.
Manager Roy Hodgson is hoping Ings will recover in time to
instead play Lithuania on Monday, while he is also confident
that Michael Carrick and Jonjo Shelvey will be passed fit for the
Estonia game at Wembley on Friday.
He said: "Danny Ings has not trained since joining us because
he picked up an ankle injury against Everton but that has
responded to treatment better than we thought it would.
"We are hoping that he will be ready to take part on Monday in
Lithuania.
"Jonjo has a better chance for Friday. Michael Carrick had a
slight recurrence of a tightening of the groin and we did not
want to take any chances in a light training session on the basis
it will help him be fit for the game."
In the absence of Rooney and Ings, Arsenal forward Theo
Walcott is likely to come into contention to start in a central
attacking role. Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy are the other
forwards in the squad.
