Ukraine might play their crucial final Group D match against England in Euro 2012 on Tuesday without captain Andrei Shevchenko, who suffers a knee problem, according to Xinhua.

The 35-year-old striker was unable to train on Sunday after having suffered two knocks to the knee in the 2-0 defeat by France on Friday.

"Shevchenko took two hits to his left knee against France and he has water on the knee as a result," said a team official of the Ukrainian side.
