TEAMtalk : Roy Hodgson says it is “naive” to think that Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere will waltz straight back into the England team.
It has already been suggested the 20-year-old will place a huge question mark over Frank Lampard’s international future by claiming one of those prized midfield berths.
But Hodgson is not considering that just now.
He recognises finding top form after spending so long on the sidelines is not going to be a simple task.
“It’s great to see Jack back, but it’s naive to think he’ll walk back into being what he wants,” Hodgson said.
Instead it is another group of youngsters in the frame for next Friday’s World Cup qualifier against San Marino.
