Roy Hodgson will gamble on the fitness of John Terry by starting him against France on Monday, according to reports.
The Chelsea defender has been struggling with a hamstring injury and had been ruled doubtful for the Group D opener in Donetsk.
Hodgson has been warned that aggravating the injury could see him miss the entire tournament.
However, The Mirror understands that Hodgson may take a risk and name the former skipper in his starting lineup.
Meanwhile, Ashley Cole could also be set to start after overcoming a stomach bug.
