Hodgson and Rooney preview England's clash with Slovakia

Roy Hodgson is keeping his cards close to his chest ahead of England's final Euro 2016 group stage fixture.

The Three Lions face Slovakia in Saint-Etienne on Monday evening knowing that even a point will mathematically guarantee their progression to the last 16 of the competition.

With Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge scoring from the bench in Thursday's victory over Wales in Lens, Hodgson could well tinker with the starting XI he named for England's first two matches at the finals.

But the manager was giving little away in his pre-match press conference at the Stade Geoffroy Guichard on Sunday evening.

He said: "I think the players are in good shape and I don't think it would be a problem if I wanted to keep very much the same side as we've played.

"But also there are a lot of players who would like to play and who have been knocking hard at the door to play, so I have the option if I want to refresh because everyone is anxious to get their chance and show what they can do.

"It's really a question of what we would like to do rather than what we feel is necessary in any other way."

Wayne Rooney praised the impact of England's attacking substitutes against Wales, saying that he's enjoying the opportunity to play a part in setting them up.

"We've got a squad of 23 players," said the captain, "and whoever the manager decides to play, we've got players who can come on and change games – which happened in the Wales game.

"It's obviously great, for me and the other players who are a bit deeper, creating chances for them players because, as this season has shown, they are goal-scorers and if they get chances then they will score goals.

"We know we've got good-quality players so it's important that we try to get them the chances to give them the opportunity to do that."
