England manager Roy Hodgson has been forced to cancel a dinner meeting with his players because they are too busy.

Hodgson was keen to get the players together at the end of January to go through a tactical debrief of November's 3-1 win over Scotland.

But the Football Association said that no meeting will take place.

The FA said clubs were in favour of the meeting, but due to a busy schedule, no suitable date could be agreed by all parties involved.

It comes just over two weeks after Hodgson had said the meeting had been agreed, with the England boss saying at the time: "We've all agreed we're going to get together. Unfortunately, my time with them won't really begin again until March."
