Tottenham Hotspur's Kyle Walker targets England recall following injury return

Walker targets England return

Tottenham Hotspur right-back Kyle Walker has expressed a desire to fight his way back into the England squad after returning from a long-term injury.

The 24-year-old missed the World Cup last summer as a result of a pelvic injury, which kept him out of action for eight months.

Since returning to first-team football at White Hart Lane, Walker is hoping to challenge Nathaniel Clyne and Glen Johnson for a place in the Three Lions setup.

Walker told the London Evening Standard: "The England medical staff have been in touch, checking how I am, so it is fantastic to know I am still in their thoughts. Glen Johnson has not been in the squad recently but Clyne has come in and done fantastically well.

"So it's another duel for me, and I have to maintain tunnel vision. I have to do the things that got me into the England squad in the first place, and hopefully I can make that right-back spot my own."

Walker currently has 10 England caps to his name.
