Bolton Wanderers boss Gary Megson is confident that centre-half Gary Cahill is ready for a senior England call-up.

The 23-year-old defender is being widely tipped to feature in the squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Ukraine and Belarus, having been in top form for the Trotters this season.

Megson said: "I would be confident enough, with the knowledge I have of Gary, to chuck him in whatever the game.

"Now England have qualified there is the opportunity to play Gary, but that's the manager's decision.

"All Gary can do is keep playing well and hope the manager comes down on his side at some stage."

Cahill joined Bolton in January 2008 for £5million from Aston Villa, while he has also enjoyed loan spells with Sheffield United and Burnley.
