Hodgson Faces Selection Dilemma For Europa Tie

Roy Hodgson looks set to put his faith in the kids after leaving the stars at home for Liverpool's Europa League qualifier.
The Reds head to Macedonia for Thursday's first leg against Rabotnicki without a whole host of star names following their exertions at the World Cup.
England quartert Steven Gerrard, Glen Johnson, Jamie Carragher and Joe Cole have all stayed at home, along with Javier Mascherano, Fernando Torres, Pepe Reina, Maxi Rodriquez and Dirk Kuyt.
With so many regular first team players absent Hodgson looks as though he will be forced to turn to the youngsters with Jonjo Shelvey, Nathan Eccleston, Martin Hansen, Peter Gulacsi, David Amoo, Lauri Dalla Valle and Tom Ince all included in the 20-man squad.
However, Hodgson will have Alberto Aquilani available while Martin Skrtel, Sotirios Kyrgiakos and Daniel Agger have all travelled, with one of the three defenders set to captain the side.
