Scott Parker says he is ready for Euro 2012 after his Achilles injury.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Scott Parker has declared himself fit for Euro 2012.

Parker was a worrying doubt for the tournament after he missed the last few games of the Premier League season with an Achilles injury. However, the 31-year-old managed to play 55 minutes of England's 1-0 win in Norway on Saturday and now looks to be ready for competition.

"It was my first game for a while and I'm pleased I've come through it. It felt good and I felt fine," said Parker.

"I had trained for the previous three days and it's the first time I trained for a while and it felt okay. I was relieved.

"It probably couldn't have come at a worse time really, the injury, for Tottenham as well, coming at the back end of the season after doing so well.

"Obviously I wanted to be part of that and to miss out left the fear I might miss out on the Euros as well. I am glad things have cleared up a little bit and I am ready to go."

Parker captained England during their 3-2 defeat to the Netherlands in February.
