England's final preparations for next summer's World Cup could well be undertaken in a four-country tournament in Morocco. Glen Hoddle's squad is one of three currently under consideration to fill the final place in the Hassan II Cup which is to be staged between May 27th and 29th.

France and Belgium have already confirmed they will take part alongside the host country who were paired with Scotland when the draw for the group stages next June's finals in France were made a fortnight ago. The other two countries to have been approached about possible participation in the Hassan Cup are Argentina and Paraguay.
