Sunderland utility Richardson targets England recall

Sunderland midfielder Kieran Richardson is eyeing an England recall.

The former Manchester United man, 25, was capped twice by Sven Goran Eriksson in 2005.

But that was before he became a left-back, a spot he knows is up for grabs as cover for Ashley Cole.

He said: "England is a realistic target, definitely, and playing at left-back gives me that chance.

"What happened in the World Cup with England will hopefully get the manager to consider giving a few new faces a chance."
