    The base is something we looked at for a long time," said Hodgson. "There was criteria we wanted to fulfil - proximity to the town, airport etc. Chantilly best filled those criteria.

    "Then a lot of work had to be done, not least that the pitch will be brought up to scratch. We have that guarantee now from Chantilly and Uefa. There's still a long time until we take our place there, it will look very different."

    England captain Wayne Rooney will be aiming to become his country's leading scorer on Tuesday and says he will never retire from international football.

    Rooney could get his 50th England goal in the home Euro 2016 qualifier against Switzerland, surpassing the record he shares with Sir Bobby Charlton.

    "I won't be one to say I'm not available for selection," said the 29-year-old.

    "I'm sure it'll probably be the manager's choice more than mine. It's a huge honour to play for England."
