Unlikely to feature in the starting line-up unless there are injury problems, though he began the warm-up game against Wales. But still a useful man to have around.
A hard-working and tough-tackling midfield operator, he made his international debut against Spain eight years ago and has been on the scene ever since without claiming a regular place.
Held the ball up well and stemmed the Turkish attack.
Came on after an hour against the French to shore up the midfield as the World Champions threatened to run rampant. Solid.
