(Reuters) - Wales goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey will have a pain-killing injection in his back so he can play against England in his country's second European Championship Group B encounter on Thursday.

The 29-year-old missed the 2-1 win over Slovakia in Bordeaux on Saturday after injuring his back in training, with the 22-year-old Liverpool goalkeeper Danny Ward making his first start for Wales instead.
