Roy Hodgson says Daniel Sturridge and Danny Welbeck are risky selections for Euro 2016 squad
Welbeck has made an impressive return from a long-term knee problem he sustained in April for Arsenal, scoring three goals in five Premier League appearances.
While Sturridge, with four goals in six outings for Liverpool this term, has been disrupted by a number of injuries over the past two campaigns.
And Hodgson has urged the injury-plagued strikers to prove their fitness over the remainder of the campaign if they want to secure their places in France.
"There's an element of risk taking any players who have a history of injury. I can't deny that. I can't deny either that we have to put all factors into the equation when making a final decision," Hodgson said.

"But I don't see any reason at the moment to doubt the pair of them... But the next few weeks are important for those two, because I'd like to see them get a bit more match play and fitness under their belts."
