 Heskey was dropped for England's World Cup qualifiers |
England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson has contacted Birmingham manager Steve Bruce to insist striker Emile Heskey is still part of his plans. Heskey was dropped for the World Cup qualifiers in Austria and Poland.
But Bruce said: "Sven rang me and said Emile had been around the team for five years and he wanted to give Alan smith and Jermain Defoe their chance.
"He thought it would be best if Emile stayed behind but he reiterated that he is still very much part of his plans."
