West Ham United defender Matthew Upson accepts he needs to battle back to get into England coach Fabio Capello's World Cup plans.

Once the go-to man when Rio Ferdinand was missing, he lost out to Ledley King and then Jamie Carragher on Saturday, so he clearly he some work to do to push himself back into Capello's eye-line again.

"The nature of the industry we are in means you are always going to suffer personal setbacks," he said.

"I am desperate to play my part. I have to be patient, keep focussed and keep working hard in training.

"That has been my mine focus since I have been here. That is not going to change for the duration of the tournament.

"Everything else is outside my control."
