Unfolding a piece of paper listing the Lithuania players his England side will face in Friday's Euro 2016 qualifier at Wembley, manager Roy Hodgson admitted he could not pronounce any of their names. "Despite being supposedly linguistically gifted as I am I still can't pronounce the names," Hodgson, whose side have won all four Group E matches so far, told reporters. "I hope we know enough but more importantly we hope our players are prepared to do what we want to do and play the game we want to play and hope that causes Lithuania the problems we intend to cause them." Hodgson was inevitably asked whether in-form Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane would get the chance to open his senior international account with a first cap against a nation ranked 94th in the FIFA rankings. With Daniel Sturridge ruled out by injury, there have been widespread calls from the likes of former England striker Alan Shearer to let Kane loose at Wembley.
