[LNB]"He is not going to play if there is a gap of three or four days, he won't play both games - he needs six or seven days.[LNB]"But he would be a great player to have in your squad for sure."[LNB]Another player Redknapp expects to be in South Africa is Aaron Lennon - who won Man of the Match in England's 5-1 win over Croatia.[LNB]"He is a terrific young talent," he opined. [LNB]"He is getting better and learning the game and if he keeps opening his mind up and keeps working hard, he has a chance to become a top, top player."[LNB]Redknapp also reiterated his belief that England can win the World Cup.[LNB]"I have said for a long time we can win the World Cup," he said.[LNB]"It is the best group of players since I don't know when, so many players with so much experience - I think the manager is top-class, I don't think we are going to get a better opportunity."[LNB]
