I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING…

HOW Jack Colback and Fabian Delph fare after being called into the England squad. While not many would have expected to see Roy Hodgson include their names in his party for the games against Norway and Switzerland, England’s manager will not have selected them on a whim. Both players will find this weekend that they are judged differently, as the moment you are selected for England you find your games scrutinised like never before. It is important they handle all the extra attention. Colback clearly has no issues over dealing with the mental side of the game. He made a big decision in moving from Sunderland to neighbours Newcastle United but he has settled in quickly on Tyneside and uses the ball well. As for Delph (above), he should not be regarded as a surprise inclusion. He is someone who was talked about as having England potential 10 months ago and might have had a chance by now were it not for injury. He has been Aston Villa’s best player and both will be desperate to win their first caps at some point in the friendly against Norway. Before then, though, it will be interesting to see how Colback does against Crystal Palace and Delph gets on against Hull.
