Hodgson says Vardy may have to wing it

By Agence France Presse In Manchester | China Daily | Updated: 2016-05-25 08:09

England manager Roy Hodgson defended his decision to deploy Jamie Vardy in a wide role after the Leicester City striker struck the winner in a 2-1 success against Turkey.

Vardy scored 24 goals from a central role to fire Leicester to Premier League glory this season, only to find himself lining up on the left flank in a 4-3-3 formation in Sunday's Euro 2016 warmup match at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium.

But after being moved into the center, he won a second-half penalty, which strike partner Harry Kane squandered, before netting a close-range winner in the 83rd minute to take his tally to three goals in three England games.
