Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney will be fit for England barring any problems playing for his club at the weekend, according to club manager David Moyes.
According to the BBC, the form of goalkeeper Joe Hart will also be a concern for Hodgson following the Manchester City player's poor performance against Bayern Munich on Wednesday, although his options remain limited with Ben Foster still out with a broken foot.
If Rooney is fit then Hodgson will have two of the Premier League's in-form strikers available to him, the report said.
Rooney and Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge have scored 12 goals in 15 matches between them this season, the report added.
Southampton striker Rickie Lambert, who has scored two in three for his country, was back on the scoresheet for Southampton last weekend, the report further said.
England currently top Group H but are just one point ahead of both Ukraine and Montenegro, according to the report.
They face Montenegro a week on Friday and Poland four days later, the report mentioned.
