Swansea City boss Garry Monk admits Jonjo Shelvey is back in his good books.

Monk gave the midfielder a public dressing down for his lack of discipline, but was quickly won over after Shelvey's performance in victory over Burnley.

"Jonjo towards the start of the season had some ups and downs and when he is focused and pushing, he can deliver great quality," said Monk.

Monk believes Shelvey can force his way back into Roy ­Hodgson's thoughts after his public kick up the backside knocked him into line.

"He will have a chance, of course," said Monk.

"Sometimes I have been hard on Jonjo, but he knows I say nothing to you guys which I haven't said to his face.

"He is a great talent with unbelievable ability, unbelievable. He can go as far as he wants. It's as simple as that. All he has to do is make sure he is focused, his attitude is spot-on and he works hard."
