Green eyes Capello chance as battle for England No 1 spot hots up

24 March 2009 16:40
West Ham keeper Robert Green is hoping England coach Fabio Capello will give him another chance against Slovakia on Saturday. The 29-year-old replaced David James at half-time in last month's friendly defeat by Spain to win only his second cap. His outing in Seville arrived almost four years after his debut against Colombia and now the United stopper is keeping his fingers crossed that he will not have to wait as long for another opportunity. James is expected to start the weekend friendly with Slovakia and next week's 2010 World Cup qualifier at home to Ukraine, while Ben Foster is also in the squad to provide cover. 'I have no idea whether I will get a chance this time,' said Green. 'It was great to get a half against Spain. It was wonderful. I just need to carry on doing my stuff, keep working hard and hope.'
