"I've spoken to him and he's stayed in Manchester," Hodgson told reporters.
"I've made it clear to him that this means he probably won't be with us in the final 23 – unless, of course, we have injuries.
"I've actually put him on the standby list, which he understands and accepts. I don't think it's going to be a really long-term injury for him so, if I needed him and I wanted him to come with us, it would be easy for me to ask him to do so."
Hodgson said Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge, who missed England's 2-1 win over Turkey last weekend in the first of three warm-up games for Euro 2016, had not trained for two days because of a calf problem.
The England coach added that Manchester United's 18-year-old striker Marcus Rashford, one of the English Premier League's emerging players this season, would play a "serious part in the game".
Captain Wayne Rooney will start the friendly on the bench.
