"I think it is important when you have got an England squad with players you know from last time, that for some young players there is be a place for them. They need that experience. It is always nice to see a manager accommodate players who have done well in the younger England teams and he would be one of those. We have got a good batch coming through - Jack Rodwell, Jack Wilshere, Phil Jones - and Alex is in there with them. We should be pleased we have got these youngsters who look as though they can come through and be really top class."
