Sun: Gabby Agbonlahor's brief glimpse of life as a senior England player has left him wanting more. The Aston Villa striker spearheads Stuart Pearce's European Championship-chasing Under-21s tonight. And Agbonlahor is hoping for a stormer in the play-off against Wales after missing out on Fabio Capello's squad. The Villa Park star confessed: "There are a few players at the Under-21s who will be disappointed not to be in the full squad. "Like them, I will be trying to prove a point in the games coming up to show I'm good enough for a call-up."

Guardian: Fabio Capello is considering shedding his customary cautious approach in favour of a more attack-minded line-up against Kazakhstan tomorrow, with Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard expected to be reunited in a narrow midfield trio anchored by Aston Villa's Gareth Barry.

Times: Martin O'Neill, the Aston Villa manager, has told Ashley Young not to "worry unduly" about being overlooked by England. Young was not selected by Fabio Capello for the World Cup qualifiers with Kazakhstan and Belarus despite his dazzling form for Villa. But O'Neill believes the Villa winger will benefit from a fortnight's rest before the hectic schedule facing the midlands club until Christmas. O'Neill said: "My own view is that I think there is time (with England) and I know he knows that. There is time to do these things and I don't think that he should worry unduly at this minute."

Sky Sports: Martin O'Neill has urged Ashley Young not to dwell on his recent omission from Fabio Capello's England squad. The Aston Villa youngster was overlooked for the upcoming 2010 World Cup qualifier double-header against Kazakhstan and Belarus despite his impressive club form. However, his boss at Villa Park feels the youngster will benefit from the opportunity to recharge his batteries ahead of a gruelling club campaign. O'Neill is also confident that the 23-yar-old winger will force his way back into international reckoning in the future.

Sporting Life: Martin O'Neill has told Aston Villa winger Ashley Young not to "worry unduly" about being overlooked by England at this stage of his career. And the Villa chief believes Young will benefit from a fortnight's rest before a hectic schedule facing the midlands club up until Christmas. Young was not selected by Fabio Capello for the World Cup qualifiers with Kazakhstan and Belarus despite his dazzling form for Villa. But O'Neill feels the chance to recharge his batteries will be of benefit before Villa launch their UEFA Cup group campaign which means they will be playing most midweeks before the new year.
