Stoke hitman Crouch pessimistic over England recall

Stoke City striker Peter Crouch would love to play for England again but believes he will not get a chance under Roy Hodgson. "There have been a few squads since the new manager took over and I haven't been involved," he told Sky Sports News.

"It doesn't bother me too much. Obviously I have played a few times for my country and I absolutely loved it but first and foremost is to do well for your club.

"That's what I've got to do and if the call came then great. If not, so be it, it's certainly doesn't bother me too much."
