Aston Villa midfielder eyes England recall

Aston Villa midfielder Jermaine Jenas hopes that his recent move from Tottenham will help him earn a recall to the England squad. Jenas, 28, believes his lack of first team action cost him his England place.

Tottenham finally decided to let the midfielder leave on transfer deadline day after months of speculation.

Jenas said: "I've got to get into this team and get games under my belt.

"If I can do that, and get some form going, I've always been confident that I'm good enough to play for England.

"It's just always been a problem over the last couple of years that I haven't been able to get the run of games at Tottenham."
