England continued their preparation for Euro 2020 on Wednesday with defender Harry Maguire the only injury concern.

Ben White's addition to England's defence highlights concerns about potential weakness

The Manchester United centre-half missed the session at St George's Park and is unlikely to figure in England's opening game against Croatia.

Gareth Southgate's side begin their Group D campaign at Wembley Stadium on Sunday and the manager would have been pleased to see Jordan Henderson continue to build on his fitness after just returning from a serious groin injury.

United captain Maguire is still recovering from the ankle injury he sustained in the Red Devils' win at Aston Villa last month.

Arsenal attacker Bukayo Saka was back with the squad after missing Sunday's friendly win over Romania with a hip problem.

Following the opener against Croatia, England then face Scotland on June 18, followed by the Czech Republic on June 22. All their group-stage matches are taking place at Wembley.

England player ratings for friendly win over Romania

ENGLAND RATINGS: Sam Johnstone - 8: West Brom goalkeeper on his full senior debut made first meaningful save with his feet just before break from Sorescu. Sensational stop to deny Ivan a certain goal from close range with 15 minutes to go. AFP

Ben Godfrey - 7: Everton defender was one of three standby players starting match and was alert to clear dangerous ball into box after quarter of an hour. Sliced left-foot shot wide in first half and was denied even better chance to score when club teammate Calvert-Lewin got in ahead of him just after the break. Getty

Ben White - 6: Another standby player making his first start, the Brighton defender slotted straight in, looked calm and assured at the back, although manager Southgate would have been concerned at how the defence was opened up so easily by Romania at times. Getty

Tyrone Mings - 5: Early miss-control gifted Romania corner and gave away a couple of other needless fouls in a far from convincing opening half. Slightly better after break, including one important block from Cicaldau shot, but England clearly need a fit Harry Maguire back in team. EPA

Kalvin Phillips - 6: Wild strike way off target in first 10 minutes but quickly settled into his usual solid performance in front of the back four, keeping things simple with the ball and the midfield ticking over. Reuters

James Ward-Prowse - 8: Southampton midfielder was one of three standby players looking to make his mark and should be really happy with his efforts here. Saw two excellent, trademark free-kicks into box almost result in goals for Calvert-Lewin and another easily saved by Nita. Reuters

Jack Grealish - 8: Crowd seemed to buzz whenever he was in possession and he ghosts past challenges with such ease. Told to calm down by referee in first half after becoming increasingly unhappy with Romanian challenges. Eventually brought down by one in second half to earn England penalty. At the heart of England’s best work at the Riverside Stadium. AP

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - 7: Saw thumping header hit the bar after half an hour from Ward-Prowse’s free kick. Should have scored from another ball in from Southampton man but could only side foot straight to keeper. Brought down in clumsy fashion by Chiriches to earn England second penalty. A handful up front. AFP
