Intro:

England national football team training ahead of new manager Roy Hodgson's first game, a friendly against Norway, leading into Euro 2012.

Script:

England held an open training session at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium as they continued their preparations for Euro 2012.

Roy Hodgson's side will play their first friendly under the 64-year-old's stewardship against Norway on Saturday before facing Belgium next week.

The Belgium game will take on extra significance after FIFA announced on Thursday (May 24th) the Hawk-Eye goal line technology system will be tested at Wembley Stadium during the friendly.

It's the final scheduled test of Hawk-Eye in a recognised match before FIFA's rule-making panel meets in Kiev on July 2nd.

FIFA says test results during the game will not be available to match officials and will not influence the result.

While suspension and injuries have hampered Hodgson's player selection, the new England boss does have his recently appointed coach Gary Neville to help guide England through a tricky Euro 2012 group D.

Neville was brought in to liaise between the players and manager, as well as help out in the general coaching set up.

England kick off their Euro 2012 campaign against France on June 11th.
