England manager Roy Hodgson has reportedly told his squad he believes they are capable of winning next year's European Championships.
Swansea City midfielder Jonjo Shelvey revealed Hodgson had made the statement during a positive team meeting ahead of Saturday's qualifier against San Marino
"It was quite an upbeat meeting," Shelvey said.
"He talked about the previous games, which I've not been involved in. He just said, 'We can either go one way, keep winning and stay the way we are, or we can go up another level in our performances.
"Because there's no reason why the England team with the players we've got in this country can't go to the European Championships and win it'.
"That's what Roy wants us to do and what we want to do. He wants us to win and I'm sure we can."
