James Milner backs inexperienced strikers

Milner backs inexperienced strikers

James Milner has tipped England's inexperienced strikers to cause Holland problems on Wednesday evening.

Following the withdrawals of Wayne Rooney and Darren Bent, interim manager Stuart Pearce has been left with Daniel Sturridge, Danny Welbeck and Fraizer Campbell at his attacking disposal.

Those three players only have four international caps between them, but Milner believes that they have enough quality to perform at an international level.

"They're three young strikers with great ability and you want to see them coming through and staking a claim," said Milner. "I've played with Fraizer before in the Under-21s and he's a great player and had such bad luck with injuries.

"But he's come back and a player who can make that much impact in such a short time from such a long layoff shows what a character he is."
