England captain John Terry has lavished praise on United defender Gary Neville, with the Reds' club captain on the brink of a first international cap in over two years.
After two-and-a-half seasons disrupted by injury, Neville was restored to Fabio Capello's squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Kazakhstan and Andorra, and Terry is delighted to see the 34-year-old back on the international scene.
“It’s fantastic to see his hunger,” said the Chelsea skipper. “I’ve always said he’s been a great role model, to me included. He’s a great player to have round the squad.
"If players are out of the squad, Gaz has shown if you work hard and play well then you’ll get your chance back in the side."
Neville is widely tipped to win his 86th cap against Andorra on Wednesday evening, with Capello admitting he is fit enough to play and first choice right-back Glen Johnson walking a disciplinary tightrope.
