England boss Roy Hodgson will reportedly make a host of changes when he names his squad for next week's friendly against Italy.

Hodgson, who will name his squad on Friday, could omit a host of established internationals in favour of youngsters, according to Three Lions coach Gary Neville.

"He has good ideas about what he wants to do with this friendly. Roy Hodgson was very clear that he would always use friendlies to have a look at people he hadn't seen before or to develop new ideas," Neville told the BBC.

"It is the only environment he will have to look at people, but they have to be the right players and they have to be ready."

Chelsea duo Daniel Sturridge and Ryan Bertrand and Manchester United's Tom Cleverley are among those expected to be brought into the squad.
