Milner on Brazil

Aston Villa winger James Milner is in line for a start against Brazil in the prestigious friendly match being played in Qatar.

The 23-year old, who recently broke in to the full England squad after 5 years in the Under-21's, will look to take advantage of the absences of Steven Gerrard, Aaron Lennon and David Beckham from the squad and lay his claim for a spot in Fabio Capello's World Cup squad.

Speaking ahead of the tie in the capital Doha, Milner says friendlies against teams of Brazil's calibre can only be beneficial to the rest of the squad, and help prepare them properly for strong opposition in South Africa next year.
