Zamora plays down England talk

Fulham striker Bobby Zamora has admitted that he doesn't expect to get a call to join England's World Cup squad this summer.


Zamora's form this season has prompted many experts to tip him for an international elevation, but the former West Ham and Spurs player says he is not losing sleep worrying about it.

The Cottagers favourite has already booked his summer holidays and expects to be enjoying himself in Las Vegas and watching England's games on the television.

"I would cancel but it's not something I'm thinking about. I'll be watching on the box wherever I am. It's nice people are talking about me being picked but I'm doing my stuff for Fulham and what happens, happens," Zamora said.

One Fulham player who has not given up hope of an England call-up is full-back Paul Konchesky, after his recent return from injury.

The door is open for another left-back after Wayne Bridge's shock international retirement although Stephen Warnock and Leighton Baines appear to be ahead of him in the queue.

Konchesky said: "I would like to think if I am fit and doing well I've got a good chance of being picked but my priority is to do well for Fulham.

"If Wayne Bridge comes back he comes back, but if he doesn't it is wide open really. It was a shame I wasn't playing when the England manager came to watch us against Birmingham.

"But hopefully he will come again and the team will keep doing well."
