Record will soon be Rooney's - Hodgson

Roy Hodgson left Wayne Rooney hanging after he equaled Bobby Charlton's England scoring record in a 6-0 victory over San Marino, but predicted it would not be for long.

Rooney moved level with 1966 World Cup winner Charlton on 49 goals by scoring an early penalty in Serravalle on Saturday, only to be taken off in the 58th minute before he was able to claim the record outright.

But with a home game against Switzerland coming up on Tuesday, followed by further qualifiers against Estonia and Lithuania and friendlies against Spain and France, Hodgson knows Rooney's time will come.
