Roy Hodgson releases his depth charge! England can count on a host of attacking options
"It gives you that headache all coaches say they want," said Hodgson. "The dilemma I have is that more than 11 players are capable of taking the field against Italy.

"You have players who are forcing their way into the team and will divide opinion. My favoured XI for Italy might divide opinion. That's good for a start.

"It'll give us enormous opportunities on the bench to change things around. It's going to be hot. Most teams won't be able to get through three 90-minute games with the same team.

"It's definitely going to be a 14-man game. You won't see too many teams starting with 11 and finishing with 11. And you'll see teams changing game to game as long as they have the depth to do that.

"I have the opportunity to make changes.

Paolo Di Canio believes England's players will be burnt out in Brazil this summer
Paolo Di Canio last night delivered a damning verdict on England’s World Cup chances – insisting Roy Hodgson’s side will fail to make it out of their opening group.

The former Celtic idol accused the Three Lions of conceding “ridiculous goals” and making “incredible mistakes”.

Di Canio claimed England’s squad lacks depth. And the Italian said the players will wilt in the Brazilian heat after arriving burnt out from their domestic seasons – tipping his countrymen and Uruguay to progress from Group D.
