Being dropped from the England squad only made Shaun Wright-Phillips more determined to regain his international place. "I am very pleased to be back in the England squad given my form, because now I feel 100% match fit," said Manchester City's Shaun Wright-Phillips, who had scored on his England debut as a substitute against Ukraine back in August 2004.

"I was disappointed not to have been picked after Mr Capello's first game - but I respected the boss for it and it did some good as it helped kick me into shape because I knew then I had to perform, to get better and better.

"There is a challenge in whatever job you do, and that challenge will always benefit the person.

"I did not think my England career was too far gone to worry about resurrection.

"I am just glad to be back here with the team again.

"I am delighted with my club form and I just need to carry it on to the training with England and then put myself in a position to get another call."
