England coach Hodgson happy to involve Beckham

England coach Roy Hodgson would be happy to involve former Manchester United and Real Madrid star David Beckham in some sort of capacity.

Hodgson has given his approval for Beckham to assist the national team.

"Someone of David's stature, with his qualities and personality, I'm 100 per cent certain if he can find the time to lend his presence to the FA they would be happy to find role for him," Hodgson told BBC Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek programme.

"If he could make himself available for England in some way or another I have no doubt in my mind that (FA chairman) Greg Dyke and (FA general secretary) Alex Horne would welcome his presence within an England capacity."
