Jamie Redknapp will discover on Friday whether the hoodoo that has devastated his England career has struck again.

The Liverpool captain will see a specialist about the knee injury that threatens his place in Kevin Keegan's squad for the European Championship Finals next month.

It will be a bitter disappointment for Redknapp if he is forced to withdraw from a major championship for a third time. He pulled out of Euro 96 after one appearance because of injury, then missed the 1998 World Cup, again due to the ankle problem.

Keegan said: 'He felt his knee in training and is going to see the special-ist. We will be able to tell you more tomorrow.'

Tony Adams pulled out of training to rest his damaged back, while Steven Gerrard did not take part because he has a slight thigh problem.

Keegan will decide today whether Adams is needed to play at Wembley against Brazil on Saturday. He said: 'I don't need to play Tony to know what he can do.'

Andy Cole also plans to see a specialist about his toe injury and although Keegan does not think there will be a problem, the striker said: 'What I have to think about is the long term. It's not just Euro 2000. I have to consider Manchester United and the start of next season.'
