Steve McClaren admitted his England team had received a "reality check" after they had struggled to a goalless draw against Macedonia in the European Championship qualifier at Old Trafford.

Wayne Rooney was substituted in the second half and Steven Gerrard received a yellow card which means he misses Wednesday's match against Croatia in Zagreb. But it was England's inability to score which disappointed McClaren.

He said: "Macedonia played very well but we have to be better than that. We've had a reality check."
