Tottenham midfielder Tom Huddlestone is delighted with his England recall.

Huddlestone earned a call-up after starting each of his club's 15 games this season, which is the type of run he wanted after being linked with a move to seek regular football towards the end of the last campaign.

"I'm obviously very happy to have played so many games already this season," he said. "I've said all along that I want to be involved and I hope that can continue."

Huddlestone, 22, has been showing the range of passing Capello had in mind when he highlighted "the big one" as one of his interesting young players, along with Joe Hart and Walcott, last season.
