Warnock eyeing England call after Villa move

Aston Villa fullback Stephen Warnock is convinced he can play his way into England's World Cup plans.

Chelsea defender Ashley Cole is firmly established as the number one left-back but Wayne Bridge was unconvincing when filling the role in last week's World Cup qualifier with Belarus at Wembley.

Warnock said: "Fabio Capello was at the game with Manchester City a couple of weeks back and I've heard that he is quite a regular visitor to Villa Park.

"It was great to make my England debut. One of my ambitions is to play again for England - and I don't see why that can't happen.

"Coming to a club like this has offered me the chance to do it and it is still very much on my mind."
