Andriy Shevchenko is likely to start for Ukraine tomorrow against England after completing a training session with his teammates today.

Ukraine striker Andriy Shevchenko has increased his chances of playing against England tomorrow after returning to training, despite concerns over a knee injury.

The 35-year-old was a doubt for his side's final Group D fixture against the Three Lions following the national team doctor's claims that the former Chelsea hitman only had a "50/50" chance of being fit for the encounter.

Despite these woes, Shevchenko was able to come through a training session with his teammates today, which suggests that the forward will start for Ukraine in Donetsk tomorrow evening.

England need a point to qualify for the quarter-finals of the tournament.
