Walker praises Neville influence

Kyle Walker has hailed the impact England coach Gary Neville has had on his game as he prepares to make his first competitive start for his country.

The Tottenham defender is poised to replace the suspended Glen Johnson at right-back for England's World Cup qualifier with San Marino at Wembley on Friday.

Walker said: "I'm young, I want to improve, I want to become the best I can be and Gary Neville is really helping me with that aim."
