Roy Hodgson calls on England to build on 'encouraging' recent displays

England coach Roy Hodgson has called on his side to build on their 'encouraging' recent displays ahead of tonight's Euro 2016 qualifier against San Marino.

The Three Lions have made a positive start to their campaign, beating Switzerland 2-0 at St. Jakob-Park to sit joint top of the Group E standings alongside Lithuania.

Hodgson told ITV ahead of the clash: "We need to see a continuation from, in particular, what we saw against Switzerland and, to some extent, Norway. Those performances gave us encouragement.

"We are playing opponents not of the level of the last two - that poses problems though. We've set players objectives tonight. Fabian [Delph] we are sparing because he took a nasty kick at the weekend.

"With the other game coming so close we are resting him and also giving Jack [Wilshere] the chance to play further forward."
