Frank Lampard has targeted a place in the England squad for next year's World Cup in Brazil.
When asked if he will seek Hodgson's advice on what to do next in his career, Lampard said: "Maybe but first and foremost I'll seek my own advice, make my own decisions if that makes sense. "But I'm very competitive and I've got a sniff of the World Cup. It's only a sniff because it's a year away and England aren't even there so I shouldn't get carried away. "But I'll keep performing to my best and whatever decisions I take, I'll take with a view across the board to make myself happy, to try and play the best football I can." Lampard admits England can now have cause for greater optimism thanks to the form of the fit again Jack Wilshere and the pace now in the side, as demonstrated against the Brazilians. He said: "I know Jack is going to be a top player. Only a terrible injury halted him and he has come back and filled straight in. "I don't want to heap silly pressure on him because he is very young and we shouldn't do that. "But the way he is performing now, it's up to him how far he wants to go because he is going to be a massive, massive player for England, that's for sure."
