Eye on the ball: John Terry looked focused on his way to the session
The Manchester United striker’s instinctive finish in last week’s 1-0 friendly win over Belgium has convinced manager Roy Hodgson to pick him ahead of Andy Carroll as the replacement for Wayne Rooney, who is suspended.
Welbeck, 21, impressed again in training yesterday as Hodgson looked to settle on the right man to lead the line in front of Ashley Young.
But it was the quality of the deft lob over Belgium goalkeeper Simon Mignolet which made the biggest impact on the head coach before a tournament where he knows chances will be at a premium and clinical finishing is essential.
