Everton boss David Moyes has talked up Leighton Baines as the man to replace injured left-back Ashley Cole in the England squad.
The former Wigan man has been in great form for the Blues this season and could step into the breach after Cole was ruled out for three months with a fractured ankle.
The Chelsea defender suffered the problem during his side’s 2-1 defeat at Goodison Park in midweek after a collision with Landon Donovan.
And Moyes is now tipping England coach Fabio Capello to turn to Baines for the friendly clash with Egypt at Wembley next month although he also admits competition is fierce.
The Scot told the Daily Post: "Leighton Baines has been our most consistent player all season. I am sure he is in the thoughts of the England manager.
"I don't think anybody would be surprised if he is in the squad for the Egypt game.
“He has got Ashley Cole, Wayne Bridge and Steven Warnock who he may need to climb over to get there - but he won't let anyone down."
