Thursday, 12 May 2016 - Roy
Hodgson delays the decision to announce his European Championship
Squad until after the final Premier League weekend has been played,
allowing himself four extra days to assess players' injuries and
fitness.
Monday, 16 May 2016 -
Roy Hodgson's provisional squad is named. Marcus Rashford is included
and Jack Wilshere, along with Andros Townsend and Fabian Delph are
recalled. Theo Walcott and Phil Jagielka miss out, and there is no
room for Jermain Defoe. Hodgson has until 31 May to cull his squad by
three.
Wednesday, 18 May 2016 -
Many of the England squad report to St. George's Park for training
ahead of next week's friendly match. It excludes players from
Liverpool and Manchester United, who are still participating in
domestic competitions. However, those involved come through with
incident. Gary Cahill misses training.
Friday, 20 May 2016 -
Jordan Henderson joins the rest of the squad in training after
returning from Basel, where he starred in a non-participating role as Liverpool lost the UEFA Europa League
Final on Wednesday night. Gary Cahill also has his first training
session. Today's training session is joined by
England Rugby coach, Eddie Jones, as well as an unwanted autograph
hunter, who had invaded the training pitch during a session. Gary
Cahill receives a painkilling injection in his hip.
Sunday, 22 May 2016 - England come
through their friendly test against Turkey with a victory, despite
Harry Kane missing a penalty. It was revealed that one of the
goalscorers, Jamie Vardy, is unavailable for selection against
Australia, as he is due to get married on Wednesday.
Monday, 23 May 2016 - The
rest of the squad from Liverpool join up with the England team at
Manchester City Academy.
Wednesday, 25 May 2016
- The England players are again training in Manchester. Daniel
Sturridge is missing from the session after receiving an unspecified
knock, further speculating a debut for Marcus Rashford. Gary Cahill is
also a sidelined participant. The only other missing player is Jamie
Vardy, who is getting married today. Danny Drinkwater did attend the
ceremony, but he returned for training.
Thursday, 26 May 2016
- Roy Hodgson confirms that Daniel Sturridge has been suffering
from a calf strain and that Fabian Delph will be missing from the
match against Australia because of a groin strain, and he is now
placed on standby for the European Championship Squad. Hodgson also
confirms that Forster will start in goal, and Rooney will start from
the bench.
Friday, 27 May 2016 -
History is made as Marcus Rashford becomes the youngest player
to score on his debut for England, beating a record held by Tommy
Lawton since 1938. England's newest scorer is joined by England's top
scorer, Wayne Rooney, on the scoresheet. Eric Dier's unfortunate own
goal was a consolation for the Australian team.
Monday, 30 May 2016 - The
England squad return to training at Watford FC's training
ground. Daniel Sturridge and Gary Cahill both return to full training,
whereas Ryan Bertrand sat out the early session, so he could receive
treatment on a knock.
Tuesday, 31
May 2016 - Roy Hodgson names his 23 man squad that he is taking
to France for the European Championship Finals. Both Marcus Rashford
and Daniel Sturridge are included, whereas Danny Drinkwater and Andros
Townsend are the two players that lose out after Fabian Delph was
withdrawn last week.
Wednesday, 1
June 2016 - Ryan Bertrand misses training again because of an
injury that will keep him for playing any part in tomorrow night's
friendly against Portugal. He is still expected to be fit for the
European Championship Finals.
Thursday, 2 June 2016 - England concluded their preparations
for Euro 2016 with a narrow win over 10-man Portugal. Chris Smalling
headed England's winner from substitute Raheem Sterling's cross with
four minutes left as manager Roy Hodgson's side struggled to break
down Portugal, who had Bruno Alves sent off for a wild, high challenge
on Harry Kane in the 35th minute. Only Kyle Walker distinguished
himself although Sterling provided a lively cameo off the bench. The
main positive for Hodgson was that there were no fresh injury concerns
as he now turns his attention to the Euro 2016 opener against Russia
in Marseille on 11 June. The Squad then departed for three days of
rest.
Monday, 6 June 2016 -
The England squad depart Luton airport, bound for Paris, and arrive at
their base in Chantilly, South France, where they are met by the Mayor
of Chantilly.
Tuesday, 7 June 2016 -
22 of the England squad attend training at Stade des
Bourgognes. The 23rd, Ryan Bertrand, is working one-on-one with physio
Gary Lewin in an attempt to gain match fitness. He is not an injury
concern for the opening match on Saturday evening.
Chris Smalling
finished the session with his left knee strapped up. He is expected to
take part fully in tomorrow's training session.
Saturday, 11 June 2016 - Following a
week of training with no injury concerns, Hodgson names the second
youngest side ever to make a Tournament Finals appearance. The young
side, led by the experienced Rooney, who was making his 112th
appearance and the first as a midfielder, made a good account of
themselves. But, England once again failed to start a major tournament
with victory as they were dominant and fully merited the lead given to
them when Eric Dier crashed a 20-yard free-kick high past keeper Igor
Akinfeev with 17 minutes left. Vasili Berezutski's stoppage-time
header gave Russia a draw they barely deserved in the Stade Velodrome.
The final whistle was the cue for more of the violence that has marred
the build-up to this fixture as the Russian fans rushed at the England
fans.
Sunday, 12 June 2016 -
UEFA has threatened to disqualify England and Russia from the
Tournament if there is any further violence by fans. It has begun
disciplinary proceedings against Russia - but not England - after
"totally unacceptable" scenes at yesterday's match.
Wednesday, 14 June 2016 -
Russia will be thrown out of Euro 2016 if their fans cause further
trouble, says European governing body Uefa. The Russians have also
been fined 150,000 euros (£119,000) following violent scenes at the
game against England in Marseille on Saturday. The suspended
disqualification and fine relate only to incidents that happened
inside the stadium. There were reports of minor disturbances between
rival fans in Lille on last night.
Thursday, 16 June 2016 -
England come from behind to beat Wales 2-1 in Lens. Two goals come
courtesy of two substitutes, Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge,
following a Garth Bale free-kick in the first half that gave the Welsh
a half-time lead.
Monday, 20 June 2016 -
Despite their best efforts, and six changes from Roy Hodgson, England
could only muster a scoreless draw against Slovakia. It is enough to
take them into the knockout phase, but not enough to win the group,
after rivals Wales beat Russia to top the group. England must take on
the runners-up of Group F.
Wednesday, 22 June 2016 - Group F
has completed, and only a last minute goal from Iceland ensures that
they progress as Group F runners-up. For much of the second half, it
was certain that Portugal would progress as runners-up, but they had
to settle with one of the best third placed teams, having completed
three draws in their group.
