Tom Huddlestone not giving up on England

Hull City midfielder Tom Huddlestone had admitted that he has not given up on being part of the England squad for this summer's World Cup.

The 27-year-old won the last of his four caps for the Three Lions in a friendly against Sweden back in November 2012.

Despite not being called up for nearly two years, Huddlestone believes that he still has a slim chance of going to Brazil.

"I remain hopeful but, as I've said before, there have been times where I thought I might be able to sneak in and haven't," he told the club's official website.

"There has also been a couple of times where I've thought I was miles away from the squad and I've managed to get in."

Huddlestone has scored two goals in 28 appearances for Hull so far this season.
