Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho rates Ashley Cole as England's best fullback.

This is despite Mourinho playing Cesar Azpilicueta ahead of the veteran.

Mourinho said: "I think the national team manager knows in every country who are the best players, the ones he can trust.

"Ashley is playing well. Okay, he is not playing every game but he is playing well.

"And I think that is just what Roy Hodgson wants to know."
