Ashley Young is learning to deal with life as a targeted man as he prepares for England's double header.
Villa winger faces up to double trouble
Aston Villa's Ashley Young is getting used to being roughed up.
The left-sided winger, in the England squad for the games with Slovenia and Croatia, is often picked out by opposition teams who man-mark him with two players.
And the ex-Watford star has come to terms with teams trying to stop him at all costs.
Young said: "Getting a kicking is par for the course and after every game I get a couple of ice packs to take home with me and ice whatever area has been kicked.
"But that is something you are always going to have to deal with, being kicked, and you just have to make sure you bounce back from that.
"I am used to it now. I just get up and get on with it."
