James wants England return

David James is hoping that Fabio Capello gives him a return call up to the England fold. The Portsmouth goalkeeper has been in superb form for club and hopes this will be enough for Capello to give him a chance. James also spoke of his disappointment of not playing enough whilst McClaren was in charge.

He said: "Hopefully Fabio Capello will do well for England. He is Italian - and didn't Italy win the World Cup with a 40-year-old goalkeeper, Dino Zoff?

"I always want to be involved with England and wouldn't retire from it. If the new manager fancies it then it would be nice to be in the frame.

"It was very frustrating for me under Mr McClaren because I played half a game. I wasn't unhappy with my form for my club and wasn't training badly for England so there wasn't an obvious reason for not being involved."
