Eriksson backing Man City trio as England future

Manchester City boss Sven Goran Eriksson believes Micah Richards, Michael Johnson and Joe Hart can be key fixtures in a future England team.

"If Johnson carries on like he has been doing, I think he will one day be available for the England senior team," said Eriksson.

"I think he's one of those players who has a big chance. Of course, he has to compete with some rather good football players in that position. But I think he has a great chance.

"Joe is one of the best young goalkeepers in the country. If anyone wanted to buy him from us, the money would be extremely high, so he is definitely staying."
