Villa striker Agbonlahor proud of England call

Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor is delighted with his England call.

"It means a lot," said Agbonlahor. "Just to get in front of someone like Darren Bent who has scored seven goals. It means Fabio Capello is appreciating what I'm doing at the moment.

"I just have to try to keep it up and stay in the squad. I knew that if I got back to my best I was in with a chance of getting in there.

"He has given me a chance so hopefully I can reward him if I get a chance to play in either of the games.

"If the likes of Wayne Rooney or Jermain Defoe were to get injured he wants to know who can replace them. Hopefully I will get my chance in the next two games."
