England manager Roy Hodgson has admitted he could lose midfielder Scott Parker before Euro 2012.

The Tottenham midfielder has an Achilles tendon injury and if he does not make the tournament it means Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson is next in-line to take his place.

Parker was captain in Stuart Pearce's temporary reign but the 31-year-old lost the armband to Henderson's club team-mate Steven Gerrard, on Wednesday.

Massive blow: If Scott Parker was ruled out it would be terrible for England

Hodgson said: 'Scott's had an injection which will probably take a week for us to see if it's been successful or not.

'He could still miss out, although from what I'm hearing, it won't be a problem. He's very confident.'

The manager added: 'We've got until the 29 May to finalise the squad and I may still have a call to make on that one if it's looking dubious, if there is a doubt.
