England coach Roy Hodgson doesn't want his players having to undertake sponsorship commitments.

James Milner, Jordan Henderson, Joleon Lescott, Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain were all scheduled to make an appearance in Shoreditch, east London, on behalf of Nike.

But Hodgson told the quintet after Saturday's 1-0 win over Belgium at Wembley that they should tell their boot sponsors they would not make the event.

The former West Brom boss was eager that his 23-man squad have sufficient time for rest and recuperation before reconvening at the Grove Hotel in Hertfordshire on Tuesday lunchtime.
