Euro 2012: Theo Walcott a doubt for England's final Group match after struggling with hamstring strain Walcott missed two Arsenal games after injuring his hamstring against Chelsea, returning as a second-half substitute during the final day encounter with West Brom. Hodgson would want to have Walcott available to face Ukraine after an outstanding contribution to Friday's win over Sweden, when he came off the bench to score his first goal in almost four years, then set up Danny Welbeck for the winner. Meanwhile, Hodgson has confirmed Wayne Rooney, who returns from his two-match ban and is set to be partnered by Manchester United team-mate Danny Welbeck against Ukraine, is under consideration to be the new England vice-captain. "We haven't designated one yet but he is very much a candidate," said Hodgson. Quite frankly, with him not being available we haven't really felt the necessity before now to decide on that. But we are very much considering him for that position, yes.
