I always planned England changes – Hodgson
Russia, who meet the Welsh in their final clash, are bottom on one point.

“You could sense it”, said the Manchester United player.
Uefa said they regretted the violence but stopped short of action to punish the fans or teams.
Right-back Kyle Walker was named man of the match and England round off their Group B campaign against Slovakia on Monday night (8pm), when they need a draw to be sure of qualification.
“We’re enjoying it and the tournament’s not over yet. We are gutted but we have to move on”.
Assistant coach Gary Neville sprinted down the touchline to join in the celebrations after Sturridge’s victor and Hodgson added: “When the chances don’t go in and you’ve compounded your task by conceding that Gareth Bale goal, it really is a happy moment when both the substitutes score”.
Commenting on the opposition, he added: “I have great empathy with Chris and the Welsh team because he must have been looking at a good draw. It took some very good defending from the Wales back five to keep us out”. “When we go out we always give a 100 per cent. We can’t do more”.
“I think it is whichever team is able to put the disappointments behind them from this middle game will be the ones to prevail”.
Vardy scored the equalizer with his third touch of the ball, pouncing on a misdirected defensive clearance in the 56th minute.
Kane, too, is not carrying the form of his Tottenham season into the tournament with just two shots at goal and he could be sacrificed for Vardy by the time England play Slovakia next.
England had been on the wrong end of a late goal in their opener with Russian Federation and Hodgson had some sympathy for Wales counterpart Chris Coleman as he suffered a similar fate.
England will next face Slovakia while Wales, who beat Slovakia in their first match, meet Russian Federation in their last Group B matches.
The striker scored the first goal and played a part in Daniel Sturridge’s stoppage-time victor in Lens.
“We were anxious to inject a little bit more tempo into our game and anxious to persuade the players to take a few more risks and show confidence in themselves in and around the penalty area”. “I’ve played a lot of games, a lot of football matches and you have that feeling”.
“We got four points from the two games and as far as I am concerned that is the minimum we deserved from the two performances”, he said.

“I will be trying my hardest in training, so we will find out (if I start) in the next game”.
