England coach Hodgson hoping to keep lid on transfer speculation

England coach Roy Hodgson knows his players could be distracted this week by transfer talk.

At least four England players - vice-captain Frank Lampard, Adam Lallana, Luke Shaw and Rickie Lambert - are involved in decisions over their club futures.

The Daily Mail says Hodgson has banned agents from the team hotels, but he is well aware that the players' mobile phones will be buzzing when they retire to their rooms.

There is already some wriggle room, though, and Hodgson will let players have medicals during their seven-day stay in Miami.
