Chelsea forward Daniel Sturridge has expressed his disappointment in not being included in England's final 23-man squad for Euro 2012.
The 22-year-old was overlooked by manager Roy Hodgson, despite being Chelsea's joint-top scorer of the season.
"I feel hurt, but you know, maybe it is a blessing in disguise," Sturridge told the Jamaica Observer.
"It's going to spur me on to do better. It's going to drive me to want more success and to be a better footballer. I'm upset about it, but not too much."
Meanwhile, the Three Lions are meeting today before jetting off to Eastern Europe for this month's elite tournament.
