West Ham United boss Avram Grant says captain Matthew Upson deserves an England recall.
Upson, 31, was not even in the squad for the Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro last week - despite the absence of John Terry, Phil Jagielka, Ledley King and Michael Dawson.
Grant said: "I don't think players can change from good to bad in the space of a few months. Matthew Upson was first choice four months ago.
"He is one of the best centre-halves in England.
"If (Fabio Capello) wants to call me I'd say 'Take Matthew Upson', but I haven't spoken to Capello about it."
