Capello impressed by Kellyhttp://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-news/capello-impressed-by-kellyEngland coach Fabio Capello admits he was left impressed with the performance of Martin Kelly during Liverpool's 2-0 win at Arsenal on Saturday.
The defender returned to the Reds' starting XI for the first time in the Barclays Premier League since picking up a hamstring injury in February and turned in an assured display at the Emirates to catch the eye of the watching Three Lions boss.
"I see some players (that are) interesting for me, some new players like Kelly the right-back, he is really interesting," said Capello.
"He is young and he played a good, good game."

I said since last season that he is fundamentally more solid than Glen Johnson, and that he would be the longterm right back for England. He is defensively better than Johnson, and still is comfortable going forward. Johnson probably has more flair, and probably is underrated as a defender. I saw Johnson live vs. Fulham and he was making some headed clearance from crosses and corners that were unbelievable. He'd get up and flick the crosses away at the highest point, and he did that all game. Good competition for the right back spot: Johnson, Kelly, and Flanno. That is what we need.
