Kyle Walker will fulfil a 15-year-old dream if he starts England's World Cup qualifier against San Marino.

Walker has made his name has an attacking full-back in the mould of Barcelona's Dani Alves, but he credits England coach Gary Neville for improving his defensive game. Neville is England's most-capped right-back, and Walker said: "He's a player I looked up to and watched often. He had a fantastic career. He gives me tips and coaches me through things. I'm excited to be working with him. "I've always liked to go forward but he has helped massively in terms of myself improving defensively. I just want to keep on learning. My defending is improving every time, every week."
