Hodgson dodges row by leaving Sturridge out of England squad

Sturridge has been sidelined since injuring his thigh on England duty at the start of September -- leading to public complaints from Rodgers about his care when with the national team - and was left out of the 21-man squad Hodgson named for the games against San Marino and Estonia.
