City winger Adam Johnson admits he is only an outside bet to make England's World Cup squad. Johnson, 22, has settled in quickly at Eastlands after arriving from Middlesbrough in January. However, he feels that representing England under manager Fabio Capello in South Africa may be a step too far. Johnson said: "I know I didn't make the cut for Egypt, but just to see my name in the senior call-up was brilliant. The next step is to play. "I'm closer to that now I'm at City. The World Cup squad would be difficult, but there's a lot of football to be played and there could be injuries along the way. "It was a bit disappointing not to be involved at Wembley but I've still come a long way in a short space of time. "But this World Cup has probably come a bit too soon for me." | Submit Comments| Comments (13)| PrintWhat's this?
