Keegan: "No-one is an automatic choice for their country.

"Michael has come back, he has trained fantastically today and as far as we are concerned, I feel and my staff feel that he is playing so well, it is hard to understand why he cannot get into an England side.

"But we will have to wait to see what happens. His goal record is tremendous, his leadership for us is important and he plays in a key role for us.

"His style of leadership is not one of shouting from the rooftops or banging a drum, he just quietly goes around talking to players and then goes on a field and shows them by his example his leadership.

"I don't think any manager can ask anymore than that."
