International Royals

Ryan Bertrand started at left back for the England under 21’s against Greece at Doncaster, but they were on the end of a 2-1 defeat and need to win their final two games to be sure of qualification. The on loan Royals left back played the full 90 minutes and can be pleased with a decent performance.


Simon Church lead the line for Wales in their 1-0 defeat to Sweden at Swansea. He missed a great chance early in the second half when he took a touch 6 yards out, when he really should have shot first time. He can be pleased to have earnt another cap for his country as they look forward to a Euro 2012 qualifying campaign in England’s group.


Zurab Kizhanishvili was involved in Georgia’s 2-1 friendly win over Estonia but Gylfi Sigurdsson missed out on Iceland under 21’s game against their German counterparts with a foot injury. He is set to be fit for Sunday’s game against Villa though.
