Gary Cahill out with a knock as England squad open training

Gary Cahill was absent from England's first training session ahead of Euro 2016 on Wednesday.

Without those involved in the Europa League and FA Cup finals, Roy Hodgson was able to call on 17 players of his 26 players at St George's Park.

Chelsea centre-back Cahill was the only absentee from those available for the afternoon session due to a knock picked up in the 1-1 season finale at home to Leicester.

The severity of the knock was unclear ahead of England's first preparation friendly against Turkey at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

The England training was gate-crashed by a member of the public, just days after the Old Trafford security scare.
