Roy Hodgson From the Offal:
Their advice is to not use these players. If we have enough players to put a team out without them is another question.
"Things can happen before the 29th of July, we will not be speculating on that and there is no point in me making predictions of what the team will be like for that game.
"The sports science people are advising me not to use the players from the World Cup.
"Therefore new signings would become important for the Europa Cup."
Suggests we will be trying to do our dealing over the next two weeks. Seems a strange comment to make as it frustrates your negotitaion position. So I would speculate a few deals already agreed in principle.
