Arsenal boss Wenger delighted for Jenkinson England chance

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is delighted for Carl Jenkinson over his future England call.

Jenkinson is just waiting on clearance from the Finnish FA.

Wenger believes the international recognition is a reward for his consistent performances, standing in for injured right-back Bacary Sagna.

"I am happy that his potential has been acknowledged by Roy Hodgson, so that is good news," Wenger said.

"Carl is a guy with massive potential and I believe the positive of that is it will improve his belief, and that is very important for him in my opinion."
