Chelsea forward Daniel Sturridge says that he feels "hurt" after being snubbed by England for Euro 2012 but is determined to improve.

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.
