Villa striker Agbonlahor not bothered by World Cup talk

Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor insists making England's World Cup isn't on his mind.

Agbonlahor has scored 16 times this season, his best haul, and remains on the fringe of Fabio Capello's plans for South Africa. But the Erdington-born striker, raised two miles from Villa Park, has more pressing concerns right now than the World Cup.

"It's not on my mind at all," he said. "I think you've just got to concentrate on your club football and if you get the shout, you get the shout.

"We know we've still got the chance of finishing in fourth spot. It's going to be hard and we need other results to go our way but we've got every chance. So we're going to keep fighting and see what happens."
