Following reports that Fabio Capello is considering recalling Shaun Wright-Phillips to the England squad, William Hill offer 11/4 that he will play a part in the Euro qualifier against Montenegro and 1/4 that he will not. ‘At his best Wright-Phillips fully deserved to be an England player, but he had not been showing much of that form for some while before moving to QPR’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
