Fulham boss Roy Hodgson believes striker Bobby Zamora could be a slight chance to sneak into Fabio Capello's England squad for next year's World Cup.

Zamora netted the only goal in the Cottagers' 1-0 win over Sunderland at Craven Cottage on Sunday and received great praise from his manager after another key performance and said he could potentially be a replacement for Emile Heskeyin the England team if his good form continues.

"Heskey is a very powerful player, a very willing player and a hard working player. Bobby is more technical," Hodgson said.

"It was quite interesting being on a panel with Terry Venables the other day, discussing World Cup squads. He's got experience of that from Euro 96 and me from the World Cup.

"You could also make a case for one or two more unusual selections, players who maybe have something a little bit extra. He was talking about Ledley King.

"If you perpetuated that argument, you might come up with an argument for someone like a Bobby Zamora, the type of player who we don't have too many like in the English Premiership."
