Chelsea defender Cahill happy for Keane over England debut

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill was delighted for Burnley's Michael Keane over his England debut.

Keane was capped by England this week against Germany.

"I think the phrase is 'thrown in at the deep end' because they don't come much tougher than that for your debut, the world champions away from home," said Cahill.

"I thought he did fantastically well. He looked very comfortable out there.

"I'm a big fan of him. He can play football, he's comfortable on the ball and showed his composure, he slotted in and looked very established out there."
