Everton midfielder Gareth Barry insists he can play for England again.

Everton's evergreen midfielder plays his 600th Premier League game this evening against Middlesbrough.

“I still feel I could play and do a job in that position at that level," he told the Daily Star.

“I would back myself to play that position as well as anyone who's English.

“Being left out of the squad really hurts. But these are things you can't control, so you can't worry about them."
