Zola Hammers home a message for Fabio Capello to go Green for England
Eye can do a job: Hammers keeper Green
West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola has urged Fabio Capello to give Robert Green the nod for England's World Cup qualifiers next month.
Capello goes into the clashes with Kazakhstan and Andorra without first-choice stopper David James.
Manchester United's Ben Foster and Wigan's Chris Kirkland are also ruled out through injury meaning Capello is likely to turn to Green, Paul Robinson from Blackburn and West Brom keeper Scott Carson.
And Zola is in no doubt as to who should wear the No 1 jersey.
He told the Evening Standard: 'If you ask me if Green should be in then, as far as I am concerned,I would say yes.
'He has given us so much security thisyear. He has a strong personality and had a few problems earlier thisseason but he has come through that and has been fantastic for West Ham.'
Green was once so frustrated by his lack of opportunity at international level that he had his gloves inscribed 'England's no.6'.
He is one of the favourites for the Hammer of the Year award, to be presented on the Upton Park pitch after Sunday's Premier League finale against relegation-haunted Middlesbrough.
He won the title last year but other strong candidates are Matthew Upson and midfield player Scott Parker, who misses Sunday's match through injury.
James Tomkins is also out as he serves a one-match suspension and Lucas Neill, whose future at the club is also uncertain, is favourite to switch to the centre of defence with Jonathan Spector coming in at right back.
