Hodgson: Shaw could make Euros

England manager Roy Hodgson remains hopeful of having injured left-back Luke Shaw at Euro 2016, but says Manchester United will play a big part in whether he is available.

Shaw, 20, has been sidelined since September, when he suffered a broken leg following a shocking tackle from PSV defender Hector Moreno.

"Luke's in the same position as Wayne Rooney and Jack Wilshere," he said.

"Luke Shaw's a player we believe in, we think is an excellent talent. We think he will be a major competitor with the other left-backs for a place in the squad.

"All that remains is for him to get fit enough to be selected."

"If they decide they don't want to risk him in the final games, they want to hold him back, they want to give him a pre-season to get 100 per cent fit, there's not much I can do," Hodgson said.

"I would understand it, but I would be a little bit disappointed in that I think the player deserves the opportunity if he is fully fit to be given a chance of being selected.

"Luke did not put a timescale on it when I spoke to him.

"We'll keep a very close eye on the matter and the moment he's back playing, if it's before May 12, he'll join that long list of players that I will choose from."
