England U21 boss Stuart Pearce is delighted to see Aston Villa pair Ashley Young and James Milner now part of Fabio Capello's senior squad.

Psycho's young Lions kick off their Euro 2011 qualifying campaign in Macedonia this afternoon.

Pearce said: "The most pleasing part of my job is watching the likes of Ashley Young and James Milner in the senior squad.

"I just hope next summer three or four of those who have been in my squad are on the plane to South Africa."
