Gary Lineker’s assessment of Roy Hodgson’s squad selection doesn’t bode well

Gary Lineker knows a thing or two when it comes to not being in peak physical condition for international tournaments.

The Leicester fan played for England at two World Cups and one European Championships – famously being part of the 1990 England side that looked, for once, like they could actually win the damn thing. But after failing to score at Euro '88, it was later revealed he was suffering from hepatitis. And despite putting in some great performances in Italia 90, he famously, er, went to the toilet on the pitch. And after Roy Hodgson's England Euro 2016 squad announcement yesterday, the Match of the Day presenter doesn't seem all that convinced.

He praised Hodgson for his choice of young talent.

But quickly raised concerns over the risks of taking three key players who lack match fitness.
