Roy Hodgson picks up injury as England players take first training session ahead of Iceland clash
Three Lions must prepare for ultra-defensive Iceland on Monday night after Portugal fail to beat Hungary
ENGLAND manager Roy Hodgson took his first session after finding out his squad will face Iceland in the last-16 of the Euros.

Hodgson would have been watching Wednesday night's matches with keen interest to find out who they would face on Monday night.
After Portugal could only draw with Hungary in a frantic 3-3 draw, Iceland scored a dramatic late winner to see them finish second in Group F and set up a meeting with England in Nice.
All 23 England players were present for the session.
England striker Jamie Vardy took part on Thursday morning after Leicester City announced he had signed a new four-year deal with the Foxes.
