Smalling coy on 'Leo the Lion'

2016-06-09 16:15:00 from:SNTV

Chris Smalling played down any injury concerns on Wednesday and said that he is fully fit despite strapping ice on his knee after England's training session in Chantilly earlier in the week.

SOUNDBITE (English) Chris Smalling, England defender (asked about a toy lion he has been carrying around the England camp):

"There's not too much to be said, I think it's the case that you'll see a few different players with it during the course of the tournament. But that's all I'm going to say. I think I've heard Joe Hart is up here tomorrow so maybe you can get a bit more our of him.."

Question: "Is Joe Hart holding it now, because you haven't got it with you?"

Smalling: "No, no, I'm still with it but I think in a couple of days you'll see someone new with it."

Question: "Who do you think deserves it next?"

Smalling: "That's up to the players to see over the next couple of days."

Question: "Is there a vote on who gets it next?"

Smalling: "I think that's enough questions on the lion joke!"
