My money is firmly on him being in the starting Villa line up on Saturday. I'm delighted he's not playing a meaningless game in midweek. He looked fine all game and when he came off, and Villa have withdrawn him over a "knock" then it's only what Man U/Liverpool etc have been doing with their players for years. Club over country every time for me.

Matt Kendrick reporting that he has pulled out with a shoulder injury.

My guess is had it been a qualifier he'd be playing.
Andy Carroll, Peter Crouch, Wayne Rooney, Danny WelbeckShittest bunch of England strikers in many a long year that.
