Hodgson has sympathy for England cricketer Trott

England coach Roy Hodgson has sympathy for England cricketer Jonathan Trott.

Trott's recent problems have highlighted how difficult it is to be away from your family for a prolonged time and Hodgson is aware of the issue.

Hodgson said: "I don't know the details of the Trott situation but it doesn't surprise me that players get stress-related problems because it's a very stressful situation especially when you are representing your country and representing England in the Ashes. It's not easy.

"We will do our very best to avoid that situation with our planning which will involve a lot of people, not least of all the players but a lot of them have experience of European Championships and World Cups."
