Tom Huddlestone is eager to impress Fabio Capello
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tom Huddlestone hopes that he can impress England manager Fabio Capello if he gets the chance.
England will take on Montenegro at Wembley on Tuesday and Huddlestone believes that if called upon, it will be his biggest match in an England shirt.
"The only squads I've been in before have been for friendlies, so to be called up for a qualifier, a match that means a lot with three points at stake, is special," said the Spurs midfielder.
Huddlestone is delighted to be part of the England setup and said, "It's nice to be a part of it. It seems like a long time since I was at the training camp before the World Cup and it's good to be back
in the squad.”
However, the central midfielder has not got carried away with his selection or form with Tottenham and indicated that he may not make it into the next squad if players are fit.
The Tottenham player said, "At the same time, there are a few injuries as well, so you never know what would have happened if a few players had been fully fit."
"I've just got to try to do what I'm doing for Tottenham, try to stay in our team first and foremost and then try to get into the England squad as regularly as possible," added Huddlestone.
The England international established himself as a Tottenham regular over the course of last season and the player hopes that if he can keep going he will be given a chance to start for England under Capello.
The England manager has promised to introduce young and new players into the squad after England’s disastrous World Cup in South Africa.
However, it is unlikely that Capello will start with Huddlestone on Tuesday in a match of such importance. England and Montenegro both have six points at the top of the group and the result will put one
of the team’s in pole position to qualify.
