Roy Hodgson: 'No more experimentation needed'

England manager Roy Hodgson suggests that he no longer needs to experiment with his squad ahead of their final Euro 2016 warm-up game.

England manager Roy Hodgson has revealed that he no longer needs to experiment with his side ahead of Thursday's friendly against Portugal.

The Three Lions welcome Fernando Santos's men to Wembley for their final Euro 2016 warm-up game and their first outing since Hodgson named his 23-man squad for the tournament.

Hodgson had switched personnel and formation during England's previous two warm-up matches against Turkey and Australia, but hinted that he won't be doing so again when Portugal visit.

"The first two preparations games were good in that respect. I don't need to try anything out anymore," he told reporters.

"I am not prepared to say that the 11 that starts tomorrow will be the 11 that definitely starts against Russia."

England will fly out to France on Monday before getting their campaign underway against Russia on June 11.
