Paul Gascoigne's England future is in the balance after a meeting between the national coach, Glenn Hoddle, and the Football Association's new chairman, Keith Wiseman, yesterday.

The controversies engulfing Gascoigne in the last week have caused concern within the FA, but with Hoddle not due to name his party for Georgia for another 10 days or so the pair agreed to delay a decision.

"They will speak again later this week," David Davies of the FA said. "Glenn will also have further discussions with Paul and Walter Smith, the Rangers manager. Any decisions which affect the England team will be taken when all the circumstances have been considered."
