Tottenham captain Ledley King has been labelled as a 'certainty' to go to this year's World Cup with the England squad by manager Harry Redknapp.
The Spurs boss is a known admirer of his centre-half and despite the fact he has an ongoing knee problem, is sure that Fabio Capello will include him in his 23-man squad to go to South Africa.
"He's a certainty to go to the World Cup," said Redknapp.
"Look at how he played at Old Trafford, he was our best player. I'd be surprised if he doesn't take him.
"I spoke to Fabio Capello about six weeks ago. He kept asking 'how's Ledley, how's Ledley?'
"When Capello spoke to me he said he had six days between each game. I said it's not a problem then.
"What a great player to have. Even if he doesn't start him, if something happens with Rio or John then you've got him to come in. You can have bet life on him going."
