James Milner: 'No issue with England motivation'

England midfielder James Milner plays down concerns that Roy Hodgson's side will find it hard to motivate themselves for Thursday's match against minnows San Marino.

England midfielder James Milner has insisted that motivation will not be an issue going into Thursday's Euro 2016 qualifier against minnows San Marino.

The Three Lions are expected to run out emphatic winners against their Group E opponents, who go into the match as the joint-worst ranked national team in the world.

Pier Angelo Manzaroli's side have lost their last 59 international matches in a row, a run that stretches more than a decade, but Milner believes that his side will still be up for the game.

"It's an England game at Wembley and you are representing your country so if you need motivating for that then you probably shouldn't be here," he told reporters.

Milner is expected to add to his 50-cap haul in the match having enjoyed an extended run in the Manchester City first team of late.
