Kevin Nolan: Roy Hodgson "doesn't seem to notice us"

West Ham United midfielder Kevin Nolan believes that his English teammates are not being noticed by England boss Roy Hodgson.

Hodgson was in attendance when the Hammers beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 at White Hart Lane in their last Premier League outing, but not one player from their squad was selected for the Three Lions' World Cup qualifiers.

"There's eight months to go to the World Cup and West Ham have probably got the biggest, strongest English set of players in the country. I don't think there's anyone like us," he told The Sun.

"It feels like the England manager doesn't seem to notice us. Hodgson was at our game at Spurs but that was because everyone had been talking about Jermain Defoe. But you can't tell me he went there and Ravel Morrison or Stewart Downing, James Tomkins and Mark Noble at least didn't catch the eye.

"He must be thinking there are at least four lads there he could call up. It's very frustrating. If those lads were from other European countries, they would have caps."

The Hammers face Manchester City in the Premier League later today.
