Fulham boss Roy Hodgson believes England manager Fabio Capello was checking on Paul Konchesky during Sunday's victory over West Brom.

"Paul is having a good season," he said. "He's been giving one solid performance after another. I know England is quite well off with left-backs but I would like to think Paul would at least have got his name in [the England manager Fabio Capello's] notebook."

Asked about the influential Danny Murphy, Hodgson said: "He played very well. But let's be honest, Danny Murphy is 31 years of age and has already played for England.

"He does a fantastic job for us but central midfield is where Capello has the greatest variety of choice so I think I'd be making a bit of a fool of myself if I was suggesting Danny Murphy."
