Former England boss Graham Taylor says Gareth Barry will risk his England place by leaving Aston Villa this summer.

Taylor said: "Gareth Barry is a regular player at Aston Villa which helps him with his England place.

"You can go to someone like Liverpool, and the other clubs in the top four, and you might get in the Champions League but, if Gareth is not playing regularly, he could lose his England spot.

"Fabio Capello has made it pretty clear you have got to play regularly for your clubs and he has carried that through.

"There is a lot of thinking for Gareth to do. He pretty much knows if he stays at Villa he is not going to be rotated out of the team.

"We are going into World Cup year. It is not as if it is three years away. He needs to be playing regularly for England and I think he will do.

"But he certainly would do if he is playing at Villa."
