England's Roy Hodgson: "We have no reason to panic"

England manager Roy Hodgson believes that his side have no reason to be worried despite their back-to-back defeats at Wembley this month.

The Three Lions went down 2-0 to Chile in a friendly international in London last Friday and then suffered a 1-0 loss to Germany on Tuesday.

"That is the risk, I suppose," he told reporters when asked if England fans will lose confidence in the team after successive defeats. "That is what defeats do to you. But I think that would be a disappointing attitude.

"I would rather like to think that what we did in qualifying, especially in the latter qualifying games, still gives us some credit and is a reason for optimism.

"I think the way we have used these two games and the number of players we have used in them should not really detract from the fact that we didn't win them and therefore the good performances and good feeling that came in October has suddenly dissipated just because we didn't win these ones. We have no reason to panic."

England's next international match will be against Denmark in March.
