Everton boss Moyes backing Jagielka to make late World Cup run

Everton boss David Moyes is convinced Phil Jagielka can make a late run for England's World Cup squad.

"Phil Jagielka is doing very well," said Moyes. "He's on schedule, and with a bit of luck he will be back in a couple of months.

"I can see Jags being one of the ones who makes a late run to get in the squad.

"He was in it before (the injury). He was as good as any centre-half in the country at the end of last season - so I'm sure if he can get back fit and playing, then he'll be one who is talked about near the end of this season."
