    England captain Wayne Rooney: "[Michael Carrick's] had a few injuries this season and so has missed a few games for Manchester United but he's come back and is going well. He's deserved his call-up and knowing Michael as I do, if he plays he won't let anybody down."

    England manager Roy Hodgson: "I haven't decided upon [Raheem Sterling being rested for the Italy game], there's an obvious case for him and James Milner who's been playing for quite a while now with a knee problem.

    "There are those two and others who we will have to take a very serious look at. In Raheem's case he needs some specific treatment and who knows, if it goes well tomorrow night, the wise thing might be to give someone else a chance."

  9. Hodgson "devastated" by Forster injurypublished at 14:51 Greenwich Mean Time 26 March 2015

    England manager Roy Hodgson: "We thought we had three top-class goalkeepers, but now we only have one. We are devastated about Fraser Forster, I've been in touch with him but there's not much you can say, the same with Ben Foster, his cruciate injury is going to keep him out for this and a good bit of next season.

    "In all of these situations it's now an opportunity for other goalkeepers to show me and my coaching staff what they can do. We are very sad for Fraser and Ben, and trust they are going to be back. But for the meantime we will have to look elsewhere."

  11. Kane a talismanpublished at 14:47 Greenwich Mean Time 26 March 2015

    England manager Roy Hodgson: "If you look at the squad and the age, we have a situation where Wayne at 28/29 years old with 100 caps, the next is Joe Hart approaching 50 and lots of players who haven't reached 10 caps yet.

    "We are being helped by some of the clubs who are starting to turn their backs on so-called big-name foreign players and giving homegrown and young players a chance. Tottenham are a good example of that and so are Southampton. Harry Kane is the best talisman for that."

  12. Hodgson on academiespublished at 14:46 Greenwich Mean Time 26 March 2015

    England manager Roy Hodgson: "I am pleased people are looking into the problem itself more and more - how are we going to turn gifted players from academies into top-class footballers.

    "To be fair to the FA and the Premier League, they are trying all sorts of methods but the bottom line is, will there be enough managers and clubs prepared to take a chance on these players? Or will they always look beyond and go and see what there is in Brazil, Spain and Germany?"

I am pleased and the players have reacted well and we are winning games. I am pleased with the job I have done and I hope we can carry on winning games."

    England manager Roy Hodgson on 2022 World Cup in Qatar: "The new date won't hurt. September, October, November is a good time to play international football because the players have had a summer break.

    "It won't be a disadvantage for the European teams. The disadvantage will come when the various leagues in European countries have a problem. The World Cup itself won't be a disadvantage for European teams or England."

  16. Hodgson on his England futurepublished at 14:41 Greenwich Mean Time 26 March 2015

    England manager Roy Hodgson: "At the moment we have important talks ahead of us, but it's all very well to talk. We have still got six qualifiers to play and that is a big enough challenge. What I have said all along is what Greg [Dyke] has said, so we are all singing from the same hymn sheet in that respect."

  17. Hodgson "prepared" for Lithuaniapublished at 14:38 Greenwich Mean Time 26 March 2015

It is great for English football to have someone performing like he is."

  19. Hodgson "very happy with Kane"published at 14:34 Greenwich Mean Time 26 March 2015

    England manager Roy Hodgson: "We are very happy with Harry Kane. He has done well all week, and has not in any way damaged his chances of playing in the full senior team. I'm pretty sure over the course of these two games he will make his full debut, but I'm not prepared to give my selection away and when that is people will have to wait and see."
