Hodgson reveals Terry talks as center back search continues

Roy Hodgson is desperate for improvement from England in central defense ahead of Euro 2016.

England manager Roy Hodgson has spoken to John Terry as his search for a left-sided center back continues ahead of Euro 2016.

Hodgson's team conceded four goals in two friendlies in the past week, claiming a 3-2 win away to Germany before losing 2-1 to Netherlands.

Gary Cahill and Chris Smalling started in the heart of the defense in Berlin before the latter was partnered by John Stones at Wembley. But center back remains an area of concern for Hodgson ahead of Euro 2016, where England will face Russia, Wales and Slovakia in Group B.
