Gianfranco Zola believes Robert Green will keep the number one jersey for England.

The West Ham United shot-stopper started against Egypt last week, and his club manager expects him to retain the jersey for the World Cup Finals this summer.

I think he is good enough to start for England," Zola said. "It's about what Fabio Capello thinks but he has been in very good form. The last few months he has been very good.

“In my opinion, he has improved because he has learnt from his mistakes. I have seen him playing and training and I see him improving. His attitude towards his work is excellent.

“I'm sure the England staff have seen that too. He has always had talent but when things weren't going his way he worked harder to get into the national team and be the number one.”
