James Milner may be one of the England players those who book World Cup Tours will be able to watch in South Africa next year, if one commentator's words are anything to go by.
Daily Express correspondent Niall Hickman has suggested the Aston Villa midfielder's recent performances in the Premier League could warrant a place on the plane to the tournament next summer.
He particularly pointed to Milner's goal against Sunderland on Tuesday (December 15th 2009) as proof of the former Newcastle United player's abilities, stating the strike was a "30-yard hint for Fabio Capello".
Meanwhile, Villa manager Martin O'Neill also praised the efforts of the former Leeds United youngster.
"James Milner has been colossal and that was his third goal from central midfield in four matches," the news provider quoted him as saying.
Soccer fans may be reminded to book World Cup Tour packages to beat the rush for tickets to the tournament – there have already been more than 500,000 requests, according to Fifa.
