Aston Villa winger Ashley Young remains optimistic he can break into Fabio Capello's England squad.

He told the PFA's website: "Hopefully my time will come again. I am delighted with my performances, I'm really happy with the way things are going.

"We (Young and Capello) have had a few chats when I've been in the squad. He's told me what he thinks but those conversations are between me and him, they're totally private."

Young's workload at club level has increased this season with Martin O'Neill's men involved in the Uefa Cup on top of their usual domestic schedule.

But the former Watford star is just happy to be playing regularly, especially with Villa in solid form so far this season.

He added: "Any player at the club wants to play every game. Look at the amount of games Gareth Barry has played in the last few weeks, it's amazing, for club and country.

"No-one here is going to be volunteering for a rest, not the way things are going.

"When you're playing in a side that's doing really well, then everybody wants to be a part of that.

"Things are going really well and there's no-one who doesn't want to be involved."
