Bolton defender Cahill excited about imminent England appearance

Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill is set to start for England tonight against Ghana.

Cahill admits he will be bursting with pride when he walks out at Wembley tonight.

He said: "Obviously it's a great honour. I'm really looking forward to it. It's a great opportunity for myself to go out there on a great pitch and enjoy my football.

"I'll go out and enjoy playing for my country. There's no better moment than that in your whole career.

"You probably can prepare a little different when you know you're going to be involved from the start, as opposed to the circumstances in my first two caps coming off the bench.

"But hopefully I can do it no different to my first two caps, enjoying myself and playing with a smile on my face.

"I'll be working as hard as I can and really relishing the opportunity to play for my country.

"I am pleased with my form. I think the best thing for me is I've been playing on a more consistent basis in recent months, so I'm happy with my form and my fitness."
