England defender Gary Cahill has been ruled out of Euro 2012 with a double fracture of his jaw.
The Chelsea centre-half suffered the injury when he collided with goalkeeper Joe Hart during the friendly win over Belgium on Saturday.
Liverpool's Martin Kelly has been called up as his replacement, subject to Uefa's approval.
Fellow defender John Terry's hamstring injury has been given the all-clear after a scan.
Liverpool full-back Kelly made his international debut as a substitute against Norway last weekend, and the 22-year-old has been called up ahead of the more experienced Micah Richards and Rio Ferdinand.
Former captain Ferdinand has won 81 caps for his country but was left out of Hodgson's initial squad.
"Rio's very disappointed. He wants to play," Ferdinand's representative Jamie Moralee told BBC Sport. "He thought he'd done enough. It's very difficult to accept. This is a player with 81 caps for his country. It's a lack of respect. I don't know anyone who understands it."
