Phil Jagielka hopeful of Euro 2012 spot

Everton defender Phil Jagielka has admitted that he is 'hopeful' of forcing himself into the England squad for Euro 2012.

The 29-year-old has recovered from a knee injury in recent weeks, and he has claimed that he deserves a chance.

"Hopefully I've played well enough in the last few weeks to at least be in with a shout," Jagielka told the club's official website.

Jagielka has 10 England caps to his name.
