Hodgson fears English talent being ignored by Premier League's biggest clubs

England coach Roy Hodgson feels the Premier League's biggest clubs are ignoring English talent.

He concedes that many England players will now struggle to get into top flight sides after a record-breaking summer transfer window.

Hodgson said: "It is an interesting debate, not least thanks to Greg Dyke's report.

"I am very calm about what's going on. I think we have enough players. I just have to accept, and our nation has to accept, that some of our players will be selected on benches, which was unthinkable five to 10 years ago but it is the world we live in.

"The standard in the Premier League, with some of the players being signed, we are becoming a magnet for the best players in the world. It could be advantageous for English players who become top players in their team."
