Sven shockingly overlooked JT for the Australia game earlier this year in place of the likes of Matthew Upson and Ledley King but it would seem like Sven has seen sense.

Speaking to the Evening Standard, Sven said "John is playing very well and it is a very great boost for him to be made captain as well at Chelsea.

"When Gallas and Desailly were together earlier John played very little because their partnership was difficult to move, but he has taken his chance now and I'm very happy to have seen him do so well."

As the article also points out, JT stands an excellent chance of making the starting lineup if he is named in the squad to play Lichtenstein and Turkey as England face a defensive crisis with so many missing through injury.

Sven you've overlooked him once- don't make the same mistake again...
