Ashton ready for England debut

Ashton ready for England debut

Dean Ashton hopes he will finally make his long-awaited England debut against Trinidad and Tobago on Saturday. Ashton has suffered some terrible luck with injuries and has missed out on his opporunities, but the West Ham man is confident Saturday could be the day.

"It is gutting to think two years have gone by since then," said Ashton, who was left on the bench against USA on Wednesday.

"You can't really sum it up. It's gone very quickly and I missed out on a whole year when perhaps I could have played well against Greece and been in the squad from then on.

"I feel I have a point to prove and obviously I'll be working as hard as anyone to get my place.

"In the latter part of the season with my goals and the way I played I've shown that is all behind me and I'm back to the player I was, maybe better with the mental side of it.

"You have to be strong mentally to get back to this position. If I get my chance I'll be strong enough to take it."
