Sunderland striker Campbell thrilled with England call

Sunderland striker Fraizer Campbell is thrilled with his maiden England call.

It's a major boost for a player whose career hit the rocks when he damaged cruciate knee ligaments in August 2010 which kept him sidelined until last month.

He said: "It's gone from the worst point in my life 18 months ago to now, which is probably the best moment.

"I was surprised and just delighted and honoured to be part of it. It's a big opportunity for me to stake a claim and do really well for myself."
