Hodgson pleased with Arsenal influence on England squad

England coach Roy Hodgson is delighted with the Arsenal influence on his current squad.

Five representatives - Calum Chambers, Kieran Gibbs, Jack Wilshere, Danny Welbeck and substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - were on the field at the start of the second half against San Marino.

"It was not long ago that we had five Liverpool players, but it's nice to see people like Oxlade-Chamberlain and Jack Wilshere really starting to reach the potential that I know Arsene Wenger always believed they had," revealed Hodgson.
