Roy Hodgson faces a potential selection headache in midfield following the news that Jordan Henderson is a major doubt for Euro 2016 with a knee injury. The England manager names his squad for the tournament in just under five weeks, with their opening group game against Russia a month later.It leaves Henderson, who faces six to eight weeks out after damaging his lateral collateral ligament against Borussia Dortmund, a short window to prove his fitness. Jordan Henderson suffered the injury playing for Liverpl against Borussia Dortmund The Liverpl midfielder had emerged as a key part of Hodgsons plans, starting Englands first six Euro qualifiers before injury, and returning in the 3-2 friendly victory over Germany in March.The impact of his injury on Englands hopes polarised opinion on Sky Sports social media channels, but where does his possible absence leave their midfield options?Recent startersHodgson used a version of the 4-3-3 formation in Berlin, but also experimented with a 4-4-2 diamond.Henderson had been earmarked as one of the two shuttlers in central midfield, using his energy to support attack and defence with Eric Dier in the holding role.The Tottenham midfielder is unlikely to be affected after impressing against Germany, and with few alternatives in defensive midfield, his place is likely assured. Eric Dier scored the winner for England against Germany in March His team-mate Dele Alli lked a gd fit alongside Henderson at the Olympiastadion. Both pressed well, with Alli free to roam forward and Henderson and Dier on the cover.He could drop back now, but his best work for Spurs and England has been higher up the pitch. It would seem counter-productive to move him away from the oppositions goal, especially when it would likely limit his proximity to Harry Kane. Dele Alli is among the favourites to start for England at Euro 2016 So James Milner, who many feel most closely matches Hendersons work-rate, may be the biggest beneficiary.The Liverpl midfielder tk his club-mates place against the Netherlands and Hodgson clearly values his leadership, handing him the captains armband at Wembley. Judging by recent team selections, Milner is a logical choice. James Milner captained England against the Netherlands at Wembley Meanwhile, those championing Danny Drinkwater may grow a little bolder. He slotted into the Dier position against the Dutch, winning his first cap, and the Leicester midfielder is another who may profit from Hendersons absence.He enjoyed the role against the Netherlands, even if it differed from his typical Leicester assignment, but he could now get the chance to play further forward if Henderson doesnt make it. Jamie Vardy, recipient of four Drinkwater assists this season, could find his case bsted t.Hodgson could always opt to reshuffle his attacking midfielders, leaving Ross Barkley and Adam Lallana possible contenders. Both have played there for their clubs, but so far Hodgson has preferred advanced roles for both. Danny Drinkwater won his first England cap against the Netherlands In contention…if fitIt lks like Jack Wilshere will be the big if for England. Henderson now joins the Arsenal midfielder and Fabian Delph on the list of players who must prove their fitness.All three have strong claims and were heavily involved in Englands qualification, and Hodgson has said a lack of game-time doesnt necessarily rule out a call-up. Jack Wilshere faces a race against time to prove his fitness before Euro 2016 He knows the strengths and weaknesses of all three players, and the trio may actually have been his first-choice midfield three - Delph, Wilshere and Henderson kicked off Englands qualification bid in the impressive 2-0 win in Switzerland.For me its all about the class of the player, Hodgson said when discussing Wilshere. If the Arsenal man takes the field before Euro 2016, he remains the hypothetical favourite to replace Henderson. Recent call-upsA lk back at the midfielders capped over the last 12 months provides a snapshot of alternative options for the England boss.Jonjo Shelvey had ambitions of an England place when he moved to Newcastle in January.He must have fancied his chances t after he won five caps in 2015, but to date his hopes have gone the same way as Newcastles survival bid. The former Swan has not featured since an 11-minute cameo against France last year. Jonjo Shelvey was part of the England set-up in 2015 Many felt Michael Carrick fluffed his chance in the 2-0 friendly defeat by Spain in November, and he was overlked in favour of Drinkwater for recent friendlies. But if Hodgson requires an experienced head, he could do worse than Carrick.Ryan Mason won his single England cap against Italy last March, but he has since slipped well down the pecking order. With just six Premier League starts to his name this season, the Spurs midfielder would be a left-field choice.Similarly Tom Cleverley, who has played just about half of Evertons league matches this season. He actually replaced an injured Mason for Englands June friendly against Republic of Ireland last year, but didnt get on. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could make a late case for inclusion in Englands squad England right-back Alex Scott tipped Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for the squad, and the injured Arsenal man famously impressed in a central midfield role against AC Milan four years ago last month.As recently as March, Hodgson seemed keen for Oxlade-Chamberlain, who featured four times for England last year, to return, and if fit his versatility could offer an extra option.Who do you think Roy Hodgson should take to Euro 2016?

Hey!" The lower tier of the Schl End of Queens Park Rangers Loftus Road was packed solid with a very festive-sounding Chelsea choral section in this particular part of South Africa Road London, W12. Canberra have re-signed the last remaining player to figure in their 2016 NRL fairytale run, locking down back-up hker Kurt Baptiste until the end of the 2018 season.The 25-year-old was the only member of the Raiders first-choice line-up that hadnt owner contract next season but will re-join his teammates for day one of pre-season on Monday.Its great to get it organised and Im really lking forward next two years and grateful for the opportunity the Raiders have given me, Baptiste said.This will take me to five years in total with the club and Ive really found a home here in Canberra.The former Brisbane rake said he was content to deputise behind first-choice No.9 Josh Hodgson, arguably the Raiders best player last season.Baptiste played just fivee games when he arrived with Ricky Stuart at the Raiders in 2014, but went on to play 24 in their run to the preliminary final.ddddddddddddHis signature means all 17 of the players who fell one game short of a grand final appearance will be on the roster next year.Josh is obviously the number one hker, but Im lking forward to staying in the side and hopefully being there for round one, Baptiste said.I think it really helps having the same group here particularly in the halves.Last pre-season we spent a lot of time working on new combinations and this year we can work on improving what we achieved this season, he said.
