England striker Jamie Vardy was unable to take part in his side's training session on Friday morning and is therefore unlikely to be available for their FIFA World Cup quarter-final against Sweden in the Samara Arena on Saturday evening.

Vardy suffered a slight groin injury after entering England's last 16 tie against Colombia as a late second half substitute on Tuesday. He was unable to take the penalty he was expected to take in their dramatic shootout win over the South American side, ceding the decisive final kick to midfielder Eric Dier, reports Xinhua news agency.
