Man City boss Hughes backs Wright-Phillips for England success

Manchester City boss Mark Hughes is delighted to see Shaun Wright-Phillips win an England recall.

"Shaun's quick and is experienced at international level. His recall is justified and it won't faze him in any way, shape or form," he told mcfc.co.uk.

"He came back here a much better player, with more experience, and he understands what it takes to affect a game.

"Shaun is also a great guy who works extremely hard for his team-mates and his work ethic is without question. Mr Capello has recognised those qualities and that's why he is back in."

Hughes added: "We are absolutely delighted for him, it is just reward for an outstanding start he has made to the resumption of his City career.

"He came back to a club he knows well, he is playing with a smile on his face and everyone is benefiting."
