Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is backing Southampton striker Danny Ings for an England call.

Ings struck in Saints' win at the Foxes on Saturday.

Asked whether Ings could step in for England, Rodgers replied: "Yeah, there's no doubt.

"When he was at his best in and around Liverpool he was certainly a player for that there. I would definitely say he would be in consideration for that.

"Danny has always been an outstanding player. He has an eye for goal, wants to run in behind. His goal was (typical) Danny Ings, really. Off the shoulder, in behind and he finishes it really well.

"He just needs to keep the consistency and availability and he'll show he's one of the best strikers about."
