Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez says winger Jermaine Pennant should have been selected for England's upcoming Euro2008 qualifying double-header.
"I think he is ready and he is improving a lot. Mentally he is more mature and I think he's very close to a call up.
"I still think he can play better because he has quality. He is improving and I also think with two or three small details he will be better."
