Roy Hodgson wants Euro 2012 "contribution" from Wayne Rooney

England’s new manager Roy Hodgson has declared he wants to see Wayne Rooney “make a contribution” at Euro 2012 despite the striker being suspended for the first two games.

The Manchester United marksman will miss the matches against France and Sweden after being sent off for kicking an opponent during the qualifier away to Montenegro.

However, Rooney is still the 5/1 favourite with Coral to be England’s top scorer during the tournament in Poland and the Ukraine.

Hodgson, who has just been appointed as England’s new manager, said: “I’m looking forward to Wayne Rooney coming to the Euros with us and making a contribution even though he cannot play the first two games.”

The 64-year-old has only a month to devote himself to his new role full time but is hopeful the preparations will be adequate to enable England to perform to their optimum at the European Championship. 

The Three Lions are 9/1 with Coral to return home with the trophy.

“It’s going to be difficult of course but hopefully I’ve got time,” said Hodgson, who will remain as West Brom manager until the end of the season.

“Obviously I’ve been working in England for the last five years so the players are pretty well known to me even though I haven’t worked with them all.

“I’ve done as much research and spoken to as many people as I can.

“England always have to go into tournaments to win them because we are a major football nation. I certainly think the players would be very disappointed if we expected anything less of them than to win the tournament.”
