Jermain Defoe returns from England camp after father dies

England striker Jermain Defoe has returned home from the team's Euro 2012 training base in Krakow following the death of his father.

The Tottenham forward is expected to return to the squad in due course and no replacement will be called up.

England's first match is on Monday against France.

Wayne Rooney is ineligible for the first two matches of the tournament, and the other strikers in the squad are Danny Welbeck and Andy Carroll.

Defoe appeared as a late substitute in England's final warm-up match, hitting the post in a 1-0 victory over Belgium at Wembley on Saturday.

It is not certain when the striker will return to the squad but he was not expected to start in any case against France.

The 29-year-old made his 47th England appearance last weekend, a record 30 of which have been as a subsitute.

Following the news of his return home a Spurs statement said: "Everyone at the Club sends their sincere condolences to Jermain and his family."

London 2012: Craig Bellamy set to feature for Team GB

Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy says he has been included in the Team GB squad for the Olympics.
Coach Stuart Pearce is allowed to name three players over the age of 23 in his 18-man squad - and Wales international Bellamy, 32, has been widely quoted claiming he has been included.
"I am in the Olympic squad but I was supposed to keep it quiet," he said. "It's a different challenge. I had a difficult season with Liverpool but the Olympics is a one-off." Pearce is expected to name his squad for the games later in June.
Former England captain David Beckham, 37, has made no secret of his desire to be included and Manchester United will allow former Wales skipper Ryan Giggs, 38, to feature. England international Joe Cole, Scotland striker Steven Fletcher and Northern Ireland midfielder Chris Brunt have also been touted as potential over-age players.
Team GB's first fixture is against Senegal at Old Trafford on 26 July.

Thing is, I don't see how he can return. Regardless of the emotional trauma there's a lot to sort out. And when's the date of burial, that could be a couple of weeks away, right in the middle of the tournament?
