Daniel Sturridge or Marcus Rashford? England coach Roy Hodgson has tough decisions to make – in pictures



Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge made a timely return to England training on Monday, the day before manager Roy Hodgson submits his final 23-man squad for Euro 2016. The 26-year-old emerged for training with the rest of his team-mates at Watford's training ground on Monday.

Sturridge's place in the squad is thought to be under threat, with Marcus Rashford having marked his debut with a goal against Australia.

HOW DO SIM CARD SCAMS WORK?

Sim swap frauds are a form of identity theft.

They involve criminals conning mobile phone operators into issuing them with replacement Sim cards, often by claiming their phone has been lost or stolen 

They use the victim's personal details - obtained through criminal methods - to convince such companies of their identity.

The criminal can then access any online service that requires security codes to be sent to a user's mobile phone, such as banking services.
