Gerrard: Belgium test was ideal ahead of Euros

England captain Steven Gerrard insists his side's hard-fought 1-0 win over Belgium was the perfect preparation for its Euro 2012 opener against France.

Roy Hodgson's side had to withstand some robust challenges from a physical Belgian outfit as well as coping with the superior technique of Marc Wilmots' side.

Gary Cahill came off with a potentially fractured jaw, while John Terry faces a scan on a hamstring problem at the end of a bruising encounter that must have had England coach Hodgson wincing as he contemplated an ever-increasing injury list.
