Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill is keen for his players to avoid an England call-up this week.

While boss O'Neill is delighted at the international recognition coming Villa's way, he is also concerned at the workload.

Gareth Barry, Emile Heskey, Ashley Young, Gabby Agbonlahor and Curtis Davies are likely to be called up, while Steve Sidwell and Luke Young are also in the reckoning.

And he hopes coach Capello does not demand 90 minutes from his stars.

O'Neill, whose side entertain Doncaster tonight, said: "I accept that he will be using next week as an opportunity to have a look at some players.

"He will know nine of his 11 starting line-up for the crucial games and he knows there will be one or two trying to make their way in. But I hope he is mindful of the games the players have played."
