Vardy to have groin injury assessed before England face Sweden

The 31-year-old came on late against Colombia but was left out of the penalty shoot-out because of a muscle problem and could miss the quarter-final

England forward Jamie Vardy will have an assessment on a groin injury sustained in their World Cup last-16 win over Colombia.

Vardy came on as a late substitute in normal time of Tuesday's game in Moscow, which ended 1-1 after Yerry Mina cancelled out Harry Kane's penalty with an injury-time equaliser.

The Leicester City striker suffered a groin strain in extra time, during which neither team was able to find a winner.
