Stories circulating today suggest that Cardiff striker Michael Chopra (who limped off at the weekend in Cardiff's 3-1 defeat to Derby) is unhappy at being overlooked for a place in the full England squad.

Chopra who is the Championship top scorer with 21 goals is is alleged to have said "it does his head in" to be overlooked for the England senior camp and that he hasn't been given a chance to prove himself at National level.

David Nugent however waits on stand by as he could be called up for the full England squad depending on the fitness of Charlton striker Darren Bent.
