Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has backed Raheem Sterling to play a key role for England at the Euros despite firing another blank for Manchester City at the weekend. "I am a great admirer of Raheem, I think he is a fine player," Hodgson said. "It is a wonderful position to be in if you're Pep Guardiola that you believe you have other players you prefer to use to Raheem. City go into Tuesday's semi-final second leg with the upper hand after a comeback win at PSG last week. We have to play as a team with (an) incredible mentality to play to win.
