England coach Roy Hodgson has defended Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere after his flat performance in Ukraine.

Hodgson insists Wilshere still isn't 100 per cent fit.

"Jack is still looking for full fitness," said Hodgson.

"That is why we took him off in the second-half.

"We certainly saw a much more effective Jack against Moldova, but he still did his work against Ukraine and, tactically, did all the things I asked of him."
