Danny Welbeck has picked up an injury only one day after completing a £16-million transfer from Manchester United to Arsenal in one of the biggest moves of the final day of the transfer window.

Described as a "knock" that was suffered while training with England's national team, Welbeck is now a doubt for Wednesday's friendly against Norway.

The match, which marks England's first fixture since their disappointing group-stage exit at the World Cup, will provide Hodgson with a chance to test his options ahead of Monday's Euro 2016 qualifier away to Switzerland.
