Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp is delighted to see Jermain Defoe win an England recall.
"But it would be interesting if he let Jermain have a chance up on his own. There's no reason why he couldn't do a great job for England and he deserves a chance."
Pompey's Glen Johnson and David James are also in the squad for Wednesday's date in France, though Sol Campbell misses out through injury.
Redknapp said: "Jamo has been superb for us and Glen also deserves his chance. It just shows how far this club has come."
