Portsmouth boss Redknapp hails Campbell form

Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp believes Sol Campbell is capable of winning back his England place after his performance in Saturday's stalemate at Aston Villa.

Redknapp said: "Sol is in fantastic form and did the business again against a good front two in Carew and Agbonlahor. They are both quick. Sol was fantastic alongside Distin.

"It is only last year that Sol played for England and now has certainly come back into great form again. Hopefully he will continue playing like that.

"Sol could do a job still for England. I'd love to see him back in the England squad. I think he is still good enough. He is fit and has got terrific pace.

"With the injuries we've had, he has had to play Saturday-Thursday-Sunday which really wasn't something I wanted to do with him but, he has been playing so well, we've got to keep him going at the moment.

"He has still got that turn of pace. Villa looked to exploit that channel in behind Glen Johnson when Glen had to get tight to Ashley Young but Sol ran up there with Carew and Agbonlahor all day and was fantastic."
