Tottenham midfielder Jenas delighted with new playing chance

Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas is delighted with the action he's now seeing.

With Tom Huddlestone out injured until the new year, Jenas looks set to play a key role during that period.

It is a far cry from the start of the season where the 27-year-old's Tottenham future was very much in doubt.

"It's been a tough year with a lot of speculation about my future and injuries," he said. "I'm back to my best and my confidence is high. I want to maintain that now."

And Jenas is confident that will be enough to earn an England recall.

"There's definitely a lot of work to do to get back in the squad," said the midfielder, whose last cap under Fabio Capello came almost exactly a year ago.

"If I can get a run of games together and play at a consistent level then I'm pretty sure I'll feature in his plans again at some point."
