England vs Switzerland: Matt Taylor to be Called up for Switzerland Match?

Matt Taylor is not that much concerned over his national team call up. The Bolton Wanderers midfielder is now more interested to help his club to get over the relegation threat. Report have it that the 26 year old might be called up for England’s friendly match against Switzerland on 6 February.

Matt Taylor has joined Bolton Wanderers this month in the winter transfer move form Bolton rivals Portsmouth. He earlier played in U-21 England team. To him, getting into the England team would be a bonus for him as he is now more intended to play in the starting line up of Bolton Wanderers regularly in the season.

Sportinglife reported:

"I'm not worried about that [playing for England] - I've come here to play for Bolton and nothing else," said the 26-year-old.

"In my mind, all I am interested in is playing for Bolton Wanderers and getting back to playing regular first-team football and to where I was last season.

"Anything after that would be a bonus - but the main thing for me is to step over that white line in a Bolton shirt and do well."

Matt Taylore is a versatile player who fits in both left back and left midfield position. So, England coach Fabio Capello might find him an effective player ahead of Switzerland match of next month. Well, you can realize that he definitely has potential in him considering the fact that he played in U-21 England team. Matt Taylore is going to play his first match for Bolton tonight against Fulham. I think, an impressive performance for Matt Taylore tonight might convince Capello to feature him in the squad, to be declared on Friday.
