Hodgson still working out starting line up

With just one month remaining before the start of the FIFA World Cup, England manager Roy Hodgson admits that he has still yet to decide on a starting line up for the country's first game against Italy.



England have called up a relatively inexperienced squad, with the likes of Ross Barkley and Luke Shaw preferred to experienced stalwarts such as Ashley Cole.

Hodgson admits that he still has yet to decide on the correct team to play against the Italian side.

"I have many ideas but no firm ideas," said Hodgson. "We are a long way off. I don't know how the players are going to be performing in three or four weeks' time. I don't know how their fitness will be either."
