Hodgson says England stars should play in U21 Euros

England coach Roy Hodgson is keen for his senior players to feature in the U21 Euros.

Senior internationals, including Jack Wilshere, Raheem Sterling, Calum Chambers, John Stones, Phil Jones, Luke Shaw, Ross Barkley, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Saido Berahinho, are all eligible for the Under 21 tournament.

Hodgson said: "It is very simple. My policy is this: after Gareth Southgate has picked his squad I will pick my squad. I will take whatever is left. Can it be simpler than that? 'I've just said, he can pick any Under 21s who are available and I will take the rest.

"He will speak to me, tell me what he wants to do. I can't be fairer then to say it is his choice.

"Whether he will want to take all these players that is up to him, that's another matter. You will have to speak to him."
