​Leicester midfielder Drinkwater realistic over England chances

Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater says he is not guaranteed a place in Roy Hodgson's final 23-man England squad for Euro 2016.

The 26-year-old is in the provisional 26-man squad for the tournament in France, which starts on 10 June.

"I'm just trying to do what I'm best at and if that doesn't get me in then I'll have to hold my hands up," he said.

"There's some real talent in the midfield, so if I miss out I'll make it a target [to get in the England squad in the future]."

Hodgson will announce his final squad ahead of the deadline on 31 May.
