England's Lallana appears to suffer ankle knock ahead of Iceland clash

England may have to prepare for life without Adam Lallana after the midfielder appeared to pick up an ankle knock ahead of the country's Round of 16 tie with Iceland.

The Liverpool player reportedly sustained the injury at the team's training ground Friday and was pictured coming off the team bus with an ice pack wrapped around his right ankle.

England has yet to reveal the severity of the injury or provide an update on Lallana's availability for Monday's encounter in Nice.

His loss would be a significant blow for the Three Lions after his impressive displays during the group stage, when he appeared in all three matches to help England advance to the knockout round.

Despite his ability to influence a match with his vision, creativity, and speed, the 28-year-old has recently faced criticism from former Manchester United forward Dwight Yorke for his failure to score at Euro 2016.

"He hasn't really succeeded at Liverpool yet he walks into Roy Hodgson's team," Yorke told reporters. "It's bizarre. What has he done so far?

"I know it's all about opinion but Lallana gives me nothing. He has proven it in the two games he's played; he has not scored, he has not created a goal. He just hasn't got it."

While he has yet to find the back of the net on the international stage, Lallana managed to bag 11 goals in all competitions during his second season with Liverpool to earn a place on the England team
