Glen Johnson to earn 50th England cap

Johnson to earn 50th England cap

Glen Johnson will represent England for the 50th time tomorrow night.

The 29-year-old had been due to compete for the right-back position against Denmark at Wembley with Kyle Walker, but the Tottenham Hotspur player was forced to pull out of the squad with a groin complaint earlier.

As a result, manager Roy Hodgson has revealed that Walker's Liverpool counterpart Johnson will start for the Three Lions.

"I haven't named the team yet but if you really insist I will tell you that Glen Johnson will get his 50th cap at right-back," he told reporters.

Incidentally, Johnson also made his England debut against Denmark back in 2003.
