Roy Hodgson believes England's chance of success are being damaged by the lack of home grown talent playing in the Premier League.
The Three Lions manager has echoed the sentiments of his coach Gary Neville after he recently said it would be dangerous for Premier League clubs to let the number of home grown players in the top flight slip any further.
Hodgson claims that while the Premier League is a fantastic product it is no longer an English league but more a European one given the number of foreign players involved in the competition.
The former West Brom and Liverpool manager admits he is concerned for the future of the national game and believes the chances of England winning a major tournament are being damaged by the current demographic in the Premier League.
"A lot of games that I go to don't have any English players," Hodgson told Sky Sports News. "We'll have to be really careful these days when talking about the Barclays Premier League - talking about the 'Englishness' of it - because more than two-thirds of the players playing in it aren't English.
"We have one of the lowest numbers of home-grown players to choose from from all the leagues which, if you're a national team manager, is not a great advantage to be frank."
