Kelly A Shock Contender For England Place

Liverpool’s Martin Kelly is a shock contender for a place in the England squad for Friday’s crucial Euro 2012 qualifier in Montenegro.

The 21-year-old right-back is understood to be part of manager Fabio Capello’s provisional squad.

A final 23 will be named tonight and Kelly could be called up for a match from which England need a point to reach the finals next summer.

Capello was at Goodison Park on Saturday to check on the fitness of Steven Gerrard, who came on as a 67th-minute sub.

Capello said: “If Steven’s fit then he will be with us.”
