Roy Hodgson Reportedly Unconvinced by Nathaniel Clyne's Quality as England's Right Back

Roy Hodgson could look to Everton defender John Stones to fill in at right back for England's Euro 2016 campaign, as he remains unconvinced that Liverpool's Nathaniel Clyne is good enough for the role.

The ​Mirror reports that both Clyne and Tottenham's Kyle Walker have not shown enough in white to Hodgson to convince him that they are worthy of the right back slot next summer. The latter started the friendly defeat to Spain on Friday, though Clyne has featured under Hodgson too after initially earning a place in the squad while at Southampton.

He will likely play there against France at Wembley on Tuesday too, though if he continues to underwhelm Hodgson he could end up using Stones as a makeshift full back instead. The two centre half slots are likely to be contested for by Phil Jagielka, Gary Cahill, Phil Jones and Chris Smalling, while Stones will likely be named in the squad too - injury permitting.

21-year-old Stones has played in the role before, and Hodgson is happy with his showings due to his calmness on the ball and he would end up being a further option in the air - to add to the qualities the chosen centre halves boast.

The match with France will go ahead on Tuesday, despite the horrific events which occurred near the Stade de France while France were playing Germany on Friday night. Fans at Wembley will be encouraged to sing the French national anthem pre-kick off along with the French fans and players, in a show of support for the nation and all affected by the terrorist attacks which cost 132 lives that night.

Hodgson, according to the ​BBC, has welcomed the news that the match will go ahead, saying: "We respect the decision and will prepare accordingly, both on and off the pitch.

"The match will be a serious occasion but one that shows that the football world is united against these atrocities.

"I am sure the England team and our fans will play their part and show solidarity with our French friends on Tuesday and provide support for both teams during this difficult time."
